Is there an easy programmatic way to load / unload my NDIS driver instead of using the standard methof using the UI of the network properties to load it? .

For >= 2k you can use netcfg which comes with the ddk. It’s in src\network\config\netcfg

If you just want to unload / load … may think of using the sequence of
OpenSCManager

OpenService
mk:
Startservice ControlService …

AFAIK this sequence won’t work in loading/unloading NDIS drivers, you need to use the INetCfg interface

INetCfg interface is implemented by Notifier Object … not NDIS driver …
and NDIS doesn’t say its mandatory to have a Notifier Object for every NDIS
driver that u develop …
Just install one “NDIS” driver with a plain inf … no notifier … and just
issue the command “Net start driver-name” … ur driver would get loaded …
and unloaded with “Net stop drivername” …
“Net start/stop” does something like the sequence that I had talked about
…
Hmmm … maybe if u want to start/stop a protocol driver automatically upon
install/uninstall then probably u may even think of implementing the
sequence inside ur notifier object … This is undocumented … but I have
done something like this in order to incorporate this auto feature while
developing one Token Ring driver for Compaq.

Right. I interpreted the initial post as looking for a way to install/uninstall NDIS drivers (i.e. automating the installing of the INF). If you check out the snetcfg source *it* uses the INetCfg interface to install/uninstall network components. Your NDIS driver does not need a notifier object to use this utility

Right. I interpreted the initial post as looking for a way to
install/uninstall NDIS drivers (i.e. automating the installing of the INF).
“automating the installing of the INF” Nope Notifer is not used for
automating any installing of the INF … there is no need to install INF …
u still have to use the inf to even install the Notifier and declare it.
Notifier is used for having finer controls like Raising custom UI specific
to ur driver … having control over the install process … having finer
control over the binding and unbinding stage , when the driver binds to the
upper and lower edge stacks … making custom registry entries … and over
PnpReconfiguration …
If you check out the snetcfg source *it* uses the INetCfg interface to
install/uninstall network components. Your NDIS driver does not need a
notifier object to use this utility
