I think the key here is that it loads PnP drivers first. Can you have a PnP
driver that is not WDM? Dunno … I haven’t seen one. That means that a
driver marked as Auto, may be loaded and DriverEntry entry called during
Boot time – at least that is my experience. All the documentation I have
read specifically call out that a given driver should not depend on a
specific load order – hence all the threads (and sorry, but I don’t
remember the subject lines).

Gary:
Are you referring to Programming the Microsoft Windows
Driver Model? If so
I’ll hunt it down.
Could you point me to the threads that you mention. I’ve
searched the
archive under “load order”, “legacy”,
“install”, “tag”, “DependOnService” and now “Oney”, but I
haven’t come
across an explicit set of PnP manager load order rules. In
the DDK I see
sections that state that the PnP manager will load the WDM
drivers first,
but I also find sections that say it supports the
“DependOnService”
parameter.
Thanks for the feedback.

Walter Oney covers this fairly well in his book, and it has
been a subject
of several discussions here an in the newsgroups. The PnP
manager loads PnP
drivers according to it’s own guidelines.

I’ve been trying to get my WDM driver to
load after
LEGACY_TCPIP.
Does the PnP manager load all of the PnP
drivers first
regardless of
“dependencies” (DependOnService)? If you
are familiar with
this I’d
appreciate some advice/feedback.
Thanks.
