Kernel-Mode Routines That are Prohibited for All NDIS Drivers

WHQL restricts all NDIS drivers from calling the following kernel-mode support routines. If an NDIS driver calls one of these routines, WHQL fails the NDIS driver and, in most cases, returns an error message that simply states, "Do not use this call." When appropriate, the error message specifies the use of alternate NDIS functions.
