StatusCode
Specifies the status code. The value is an NDIS_STATUS_XXX code. For more information about NDIS_STATUS_XXX codes, see Status Indications.

StatusBuffer
A pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that contains data that is specific to the indication made by the miniport driver.

StatusBufferSize
The length, in bytes, of the buffer referenced by the StatusBuffer parameter.
