There are two important registry locations for any network device:
-
The registry key for the driver contains NDI/NDIS parameters for the device
-
The registry key for the device contains device information such as the manufacturer’s name
The following examples shows a typical driver registry key, where xxxx represents an instance of the Net device class:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
\Class\Net\xxxx
In an INS file that correctly specifies all the RFC 1483-specific parameters, all the INS field-value pairs will be found as registry name-value pairs under the driver key in the registry. The following example shows the key for instance 0000.
Note: All data will be of type REG_SZ (string), even if the parameters describe numbers.
