NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler function

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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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.

NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler registers a NIC-driver-supplied MiniportShutdown function to be called when the system is shutting down.

Syntax

VOID NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler(
  _In_ NDIS_HANDLE              MiniportHandle,
  _In_ PVOID                    ShutdownContext,
  _In_ ADAPTER_SHUTDOWN_HANDLER ShutdownHandler
);

Parameters

• MiniportHandle [in]
  Specifies the handle input to MiniportInitialize.

• ShutdownContext [in]
  Pointer to a driver-determined context area. This pointer will be passed to the function at ShutdownHandler when it is called.

• ShutdownHandler [in]
  Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportShutdown function.

Return value

None

Remarks

NDIS 5.0 miniport drivers and intermediate drivers can optionally register a MiniportShutdown function by calling NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler. NDIS 5.1 miniport drivers and intermediate drivers must register a MiniportShutdown function by calling NdisMRegisterMiniport or NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport, respectively.

Whenever an NDIS 5.0 miniport driver's or intermediate driver's MiniportInitialize function successfully initializes a NIC, it calls NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler, usually just before MiniportInitialize returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS.

Every NDIS 5.0 NIC driver should register a MiniportShutdown function when it initializes. MiniportShutdown is responsible for restoring the NIC to its initial state before the system is shut down.
