NDIS 2 Driver Information

The device loader and NDIS 3 wrapper use this information to check if the real-mode NDIS 2 driver is in memory and to load the appropriate mapper if necessary.

Driver Sub Key Value Name Value Description
NDIS/NDIS2 DriverName driver name The NDIS 2 driver's base DriverName.
NDIS/NDIS2 AdapterName adapter name The NDIS 2 actual adapter name and Protocol.ini section name. The AdapterName changes for multiple instances of the adapter.
NDIS/NDIS2 FileName driver file name The name of the NDIS 2 driver.

Note: NETDI automatically copies the file specified in FileName, therefore it is not necessary to explicitly copy the file in a CopyFiles section in the INF file. You only need a CopyFiles section for NDIS2 if you have additional support files for your driver.
