NetAdapterLightweightInitAllocate function (netadapter.h)
The NetAdapterLightweightInitAllocate function allocates a NETADAPTER_INIT structure that a client driver uses when creating a new NETADAPTER object for a deviceless adapter.
Syntax
NETADAPTER_INIT * NetAdapterLightweightInitAllocate(
[_In_] const GUID *NetworkInterfaceGuid
);
Parameters
[_In_] NetworkInterfaceGuid
The GUID of a valid network interface using the to-be-created deviceless adapter.
Return value
Returns a pointer to a framework-allocated NETADAPTER_INIT structure if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, this function returns NULL.
Important
If a client driver receives a NETADAPTER_INIT structure from a successful call to this function, the driver must always call NetAdapterInitFree to deallocate it regardless of the result of NetAdapterCreate.
