NDIS Notes

• Halt:
  • Release the adapter instance resources
  • Do NOT talk to the adapter hardware it may have been removed (PCCard)
  • Release allocated adapter resources (IRQ, I/O, memory, etc)
• Shutdown:
  • This should put the adapter in a quiet state similar to power-on state
  • Disable the adapter from generating interrupts
  • Halt the adapter if necessary
  • Do NOT release the resources (IRQ, I/O, memory, etc)
• Reset:
  • Just say no!
  • It's only called by NDIS if you don't complete requests within 2 seconds.
