How can you allocate shared memory <16M on W2000?

I have an NDIS4 MAC driver which uses 28-bit DMA. On NT 4.0
we can allocate share memory below 16M but not on Windows 2000.
NdisMAllocateMapRegisters( ) and NdisMAllocateSharedMemory( )
both succed but the physical address is above 16M.
Is there something we can do to free up some memory for our
adapter or force an allocation below 16M ?

Dma32BitAddresses to FALSE. I think this will insure that all physical
memory allocations are below 16Mb.
NDIS_STATUS
NdisMAllocateMapRegisters(
IN NDIS_HANDLE MiniportAdapterHandle,
IN UINT DmaChannel,
IN BOOLEAN Dma32BitAddresses,
IN ULONG PhysicalMapRegistersNeeded,
IN ULONG MaximumPhysicalMapping
);

problem, why are we getting an allocation above 16M
when we requested below 16M?
Is this a bug, or is there a way to force the allocation
below 16M?

When you call NdisMAllocateMapRegisters(), I think you may want to set the
Dma32BitAddresses to FALSE. I think this will insure that all physical
memory allocations are below 16Mb.
NDIS_STATUS
NdisMAllocateMapRegisters(
IN NDIS_HANDLE MiniportAdapterHandle,
IN UINT DmaChannel,
IN BOOLEAN Dma32BitAddresses,
IN ULONG PhysicalMapRegistersNeeded,
