Passthru NDIS driver on WM 5.0

Hi.

I changed passthru NDIS intermediate driver to handle WAN interfaces.
I tried to bind driver between PPP and AsyncMac.

I can see in logs that MiniportQueryInformation function called 4
times (with OID_GEN_VENDOR_DRIVER_VERSION, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_LOOKAHEAD,
OID_GEN_MAC_OPTIONS, OID_802_3_MAXIMUM_LIST_SIZE)
and MiniportHalt is called after this.

What can be a possible reason of halting the driver?
Is there a way to debug driver on PocketPC from Visual Studio 2005?

Thank you for your reply,
I used these topics when I made WAN support in passthru.
Unfortunately where is nothing about my problem.

I found that with OID_802_3_MAXIMUM_LIST_SIZE ProtocolRequestComplete
returns
NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_OID status.
Is that normal behaviour or I missed something important?

Who is returning NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_OID? The miniport below your IM or
your IM itself?

OID_802_3_MAXIMUM_LIST_SIZE is a mandatory OID that must return a valid
list of OIDs supported by the miniport.

Umm, sorry, my fault. For some reason I was refering to
OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST.

OID_802_3_MAXIMUM_LIST_SIZE is the maximum number of multicast
addresses supported by the miniport. So as WAN drivers might not
support multicasts at all, they might return a value of zero
(multicasts) here. However, NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_OID is IMHO still an
invalid status.
