NdisTerminateWrapper function

-description

Note   NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.

NdisTerminateWrapper releases system resources allocated when the NIC driver called NdisMInitializeWrapper.

-parameters

-param NdisWrapperHandle [in]

Specifies the handle returned by NdisMInitializeWrapper.

-param SystemSpecific [in]

Pointer to an OS-specific type. For Windows 2000 and later drivers, this parameter should be NULL.

-remarks

From its DriverEntry function, a miniport driver calls NdisMInitializeWrapper to notify NDIS that the driver is about to register itself as a miniport driver. After NdisMInitializeWrapper successfully returns, the miniport driver calls either NdisMRegisterMiniport or NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport to register its entry points with NDIS.

If a miniport driver's call to NdisMRegisterMiniport or NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport does not return NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS, the miniport driver must call NdisTerminateWrapper. Calling NdisTerminateWrapper causesNDIS to clean up the resources that it allocated when the miniport driver called NdisMInitializeWrapper.

  • Target platform: Universal
  • Version: Not supported for NDIS 6.0 drivers in Windows Vista. Supported for NDIS 5.1 drivers in Windows Vista and Windows XP.
