NdisMQueryAdapterResources

VOID
NdisMQueryAdapterResources(
OUT PNDIS_STATUS Status,
IN NDIS_HANDLE WrapperConfigurationContext,
OUT PNDIS_RESOURCE_LIST ResourceList,
IN OUT PUINT BufferSize
);

NdisMQueryAdapterResources either returns a list of hardware resources for a PCMCIA NIC, or it returns NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Parameters

Status: Points to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the status of the call. It returns NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED on Windows NT platforms.
WrapperConfigurationContext: Specifies the handle input to MiniportInitialize.
ResourceList: Points to a caller-allocated buffer in which this function returns a list of PCMCIA resources for the caller’s NIC.
BufferSize: Points to a variable that specifies the size in bytes of the caller-allocated buffer on input and the number of bytes of returned information on return from this function.

Comments

To get hardware configuration parameters for PCMCIA NICs, drivers that are binary-compatible across Microsoft operating systems that support Win32 applications can call NdisMQueryAdapterResources from their MiniportInitialize functions.

If NdisMQueryAdapterResources returns NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED, the MiniportInitialize function then gets the configuration parameters for its NIC from the registry with calls to the Ndis..Configuration functions.

Callers of NdisMQueryAdapterResources run at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL.
