How ipconfig search for network card information??

Hi,

We have written a miniport driver for NIC that installed properly and
registers with NDIS (version 5.0)successfully.But card information does
not come up when we do ipconfig. Another thing is that we dont get any
call for SetInformation by NDIS, but other calls like QueryInformation,
MPISR, HandleInterrupt are comiing regularly.Can anybody have any idea
what is wrong with miniport driver or how ipconfig asks for card
information.

Any help would be highly appericiated.

Thanks,
Rahul Jain

Chances are TCPIP is not bound to this adapter. When you bring the
properties for the connection, does TCPIP shows as a bound protocol? If you
have a kernel debugger attached, break into debugger and do
"!ndiskd.protocols" and see if from NDIS' point of view TCPIP is bound to
the adapter or not.

if TCPIP is not bound to the adapter, a couple of things could have gone
wrong:
1- The UpperRange specified in the inf file is not right (in your case it
should say ndis5)
2- Your driver is failing a required OID.

And what OS is this?

Run the NDISTest tool against your miniport driver, see

"Testing Network Drivers with the NDIS Test Tool"
