The Windows CE version of NdisDeregisterProtocol only frees resources associated with the protocol. It does not close any outstanding bindings or call any adapter-specific ProtocolCloseAdapterComplete or ProtocolStatus functions. Unlike the Windows NT version, it does not unload the miniport driver when there are no more protocol drivers (also known as protocol stacks) bound to it.
