Minport Reset

NTDEV
1

Can somebody clarify what they mean if the addressingreset flag is set to true. It states in the documentation that if set the the “functional addressing is reset”, does this mean the card bus register addresses? as well as multicast and lookahead buffers? or does it mealy mean the staion address, i.e mac address? and not any physical memory mappings, assuming that our miniport does not or can not physically rest the hardware

Thanks
Steve

I refers only to the MAC addressing (multicast list in particular). Setting
it to true just tells NDIS that it needs to send the multicast list to the
Miniport again so that it can be programmed into the NIC (if it supports
such a thing).

Good Luck,
