Intermediate drivers

Hello Everyone.
Can anybody explain me what will happen, if we have several network
cards on a computer (2 for example )and install intermediate driver
(imsamp for example) ?
Will there be 2 instances of the driver ?
Or will there be one driver, but how the driver will know which card
to use when sending packets(for example) ???

Best regards,

There will be one driver. It will be called at the BindAdapterHandler once
for each “real” NIC that it is bound to. The driver can keep track of each
binding separately.

When the IM driver is called at MPSendPackets, for example, the
MiniportAdapterContext specifies the adapter binding to be used. So, there
is no confusion there.
