Removal of Protocol driver with Device Driver
Posted by Del Fredricks on March 12th, 2007


Is there an approved method for a driver to request the removal of a
proprietary network protocol which is installed with the driver?

The reason I ask is that I wish to change the interface name the protocol
uses, and while the protocol gets installed with the driver, it does not
appear to get uninstalled with the driver. When an updated driver is later
installed, the protocol associated with it does not appear to get installed
because the old protocol from the previous driver is still resident.

Even for you - there isn't a way for a miniport to request removal of a
protocol
( but knowing this will help you find a working solution
