NdisImmediateReadPortUlong

VOID
   NdisImmediateReadPortUlong(
       IN NDIS_HANDLE WrapperConfigurationContext,
       IN ULONG Port,
       OUT PULONG Data
       );

NdisImmediateReadPortUlong reads a ULONG from a given bus-relative I/O port.

Parameters

WrapperConfigurationContext

Specifies the handle input to MiniportInitialize.

Port

Specifies the bus-relative I/O port address.

Data

Points to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the value read from the I/O port.

Comments

NdisImmediateReadPortUlong determines how the host accesses the given I/O port, maps the bus-relative port address, and then reads a ULONG-type value from the device.

A miniport driver can call NdisImmediateReadPortUlong during initialization to read data from a device I/O port when that driver has not yet called NdisMRegisterIoPortRange to obtain mapped device memory ranges. After its call to NdisMRegisterIoPortRange, the driver uses the faster NdisRawXxx functions to communicate with its NIC.
