Returning NDIS_STATUS_PENDING from Your MacAddAdapter

ID: Q126796

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Device Development Kit (DDK) for Windows, version 3.11

SUMMARY

The documentation states that your MacAddAdapter routine must either return NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS or NDIS_STATUS_PENDING when it gets called by the NDIS wrapper. While this is true, keep in mind that returning anything other than NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS is viewed by the NDIS wrapper as a failure, and returning NDIS_STATUS_PENDING will not give you another chance to install at a later time as you might think. Therefore, if you want your driver to install, your MacAddAdapter routine needs to return NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS.
