unloading an NDIS driver

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I have an NDIS driver, registered as below …

macChar.MajorNdisVersion = NDIS_MAJOR_VERSION;
macChar.MinorNdisVersion = NDIS_MINOR_VERSION;
macChar.Reserved = 0;
macChar.OpenAdapterHandler = my_OpenAdapter;
macChar.CloseAdapterHandler = my_CloseAdapter;
macChar.SendHandler = my_Send;
macChar.TransferDataHandler = my_TransferData;
macChar.ResetHandler = my_Reset;
macChar.RequestHandler = my_Request;
macChar.QueryGlobalStatisticsHandler = my_QueryGlobal;
macChar.UnloadMacHandler = my_Unload;
macChar.AddAdapterHandler = my_AddAdapter;
macChar.RemoveAdapterHandler = elan_RemoveAdapter;
macChar.Name = my_macName;

…
…
…
NdisRegisterMac(&status, &driverp->driverHandle, wrapperHandle,
(void *) driverp,&macChar, sizeof(macChar));

the problem is that “my_Unload” is never invoked when i stop the driver
using the applet in Control Panel/Devices

am i missing something here ? ? ?

thanks,
-girish

Hi Girish,
You must be working with an old version of the DDK.
NdisRegisterMac is now obsolete and should not be used.
Have a look at MiniportHalt and MiniportShutdown in
the Windows 2000 DDK.

Regards,
Evan

Who writes full mac driver nowadays. These drivers are no longer
supported. It may work on Win2K but definitely not on XP.

Yes, if you don’t want to support NT 3.51 and older. Personally, I was more
happy with full MAC drivers but MS made them obsolete (it confirms the basic
rule “every change makes things worse”).
