  If you get an answer can you forward it to me?
  
  I did this a few years ago, when I worked for someone else and I don't have the sources any more.
  I remember that a entry had to be made in each protocols' registry, telling that protocol not to bind with the specified MAC driver.

  Hello,
  
  I need to write installation for a network driver, after installation, like to
  diable the bindings from some protocol to the driver. How can I do that via INF or other method?
  
  TIA

  I don't know how to disable all possible bindings, but it is
  possible to disable protocol bindings for known protocols.
  I found this method from examining how the dial up network
  adapters prevent certain protocols from binding to them
  
  There is an undocumented registry entry you can add. I have
  included the registry info from our virtual adapter below. The
  entry which disables the protocol bindings is the "block" entry
  (value 1). For our virtual adapter, I disabled all the common
  protocols except TCP/IP.
  
  Hope this helps,
  Mike
