Setting CoNDIS WAN Miniport Driver Information (NDIS 5.1)

Note   NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.

This topic provides an overview of the requirements for setting information in a CoNDIS WAN miniport driver. An upper-layer driver calls NdisCoRequestwith a set request to change information that a CoNDIS WAN miniport driver and the miniport driver's NIC maintain.

After the NDISWAN intermediate driver forwards the set request, NDIS calls the WAN miniport driver's MiniportCoRequestfunction. In a CoNDIS WAN miniport driver, this function is the same as in any CoNDIS miniport driver, except that the CoNDIS WAN miniport driver supports CoNDIS WAN Objects.

No other requests will be submitted to the CoNDIS WAN miniport driver until the current set request is complete. If the miniport driver does not immediately complete the set request, it returns NDIS_STATUS_PENDING from MiniportCoRequestand must later call NdisCoRequestCompleteto complete the request.

A CoNDIS WAN miniport driver must recognize and respond properly to the following CoNDIS WAN OIDs.

Name Optional or Required
OID_WAN_CO_SET_LINK_INFO Set information for a VC.

required

 

A CoNDIS WAN miniport driver also supports the NDIS General Objects. To learn more about setting information in a CoNDIS miniport driver, see Querying or Setting Information.
