Querying 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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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.
The NdisXxx function that a protocol driver calls to query miniport driver information, as well as the MiniportXxx function used to satisfy such a query, depends on whether the miniport driver is connectionless or connection-oriented.
A miniport driver can be queried directly from user mode.
