Specifying Load order of NT driver

Hi,
I am trying to load a NIC driver which is based
on NDIS.

This NIC driver will use a serial device.

This serial device has a propreitary driver.

Currently i have modified the “imagepath” in the
registry entry for the Serial service which is created
to load the microsoft serial driver, to point to my
driver. So my driver is loaded instead of microsoft
serial driver. I have changed the group name of the
serial device to “XXX”.

The “startType” of the serial service is 2(i.e
System start).

The startType of the NIC driver is also 2. In
order to specify the load order, i created a
“DependOnGroup” value in the registry key of NIC
device. The value points to the Group name of the
serial device which is “XXX”.

But when i reboot the machine, an error is
reported saying that a device belonging to the XXX was
not loaded. The value shown is not XXX but some other
non-ASCII sequence.

I have created the “Group” in serial device with
type REG_SZ and “DependOnGroup” in NIC with
REG_MULTI_SZ.

Please help me out of this…

With Regards
D.Nagarajan.
