Selective IM filter install

I have an IM filter that I want to install along side my virtual NDIS
driver. I don't want the IM driver to bind to my NDIS device. What do
I need to do to my IM .inf file so that the virtual NDIS driver's
original Linkage\UpperBind value does not get modified?

Thanks,
John

Filter IM drivers (ala PASSTHRU) don't have upper and lower binding defined
in their INF (well, NoUpper and NoLower are used). They bind according to
a match between the miniport's LowerRange (Ethernet, etc) and the IM
driver's FilterMediaTypes (any match of a string in both fields is good
enough to create a binding). To overrule the default behavio, you need to
write a Notify Object DLL. Notify Objects are mandatory for MUX IM drivers
and optional for Filter IM drivers and protocols. See the NO sample in the
MUX sample. You would need to add a line in your INF to point to the DLL.
