NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler

VOID
   NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler(
       IN NDIS_HANDLE MiniportHandle,
       IN PVOID ShutdownContext,
       IN ADAPTER_SHUTDOWN_HANDLER ShutdownHandler
       );

NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler registers a NIC-driver-supplied MiniportShutdown function to be called when the system is shutting down.

Parameters

MiniportHandle

Specifies the handle input to MiniportInitialize.

ShutdownContext

Points to a driver-determined context area. This pointer will be passed to the function at ShutdownHandler when it is called.

ShutdownHandler

Specifies the entry point of the caller’s MiniportShutdown function.

Comments

Whenever a MiniportInitialize function successfully initializes a NIC, it calls NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler, usually just before MiniportInitialize returns NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS. 

Every NIC driver should register a MiniportShutdown function when it initializes. MiniportShutdown is responsible for restoring the NIC to its initial state before the system is shut down.

Callers of NdisMRegisterAdapterShutdownHandler run at IRQL PASSIVE_LEVEL.
