3.4 Set Information Handler

Besides being called during initialization, MiniportSetInformation is called in two additional cases:

1. During a hardware reset, and

2. As a result of a protocol call to NdisCloseAdapter.

MiniportSetInformation is called during a hardware reset operation as described in the next section. In this case, MiniportSetInformation is called to reset the miniport to its initial state with respect to its addresses.

NDIS calls MiniportSetInformation when a miniport’s NIC is closed by a protocol’s NdisCloseAdapter call. Such a miniport will be requested to update its addressing information.
