Error when running NDIS Test for miniport driver. (2 card test)

Hi Folks,

When running a NDIS Test, i encounter this kind of error message at
the end of the test. It looks like this error happens on the back
channel.

UninitializeServer
[2900308]NdtSupp: SuppCore : FinalRelease - enter
[2900323]NdtSupp: SuppCore : FinalRelease - exit
Remote Library ClearAdapters failed!

Any ideas why this error occurs.

Regards,
NHKR

Follow up- this problem occurs when sending and receiving for
2c_rsssendrecv

Hmm. Note the following lines before the failing send:

Does this indicate error in ndistest?

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the reply.

> [6859332]NdtSupp: SuppCore : FinalRelease - exit

These prints are very much normal(These prints occur when the test
passes/fails) . Actually, the 2c_mini6rsssendrecv from what i
understand is not consistent because the same test passes/fails,
though the entire setup/ manner in which i run the test is no
different.

Also, when i ran the test between two cards which are WHQLed, i get
the same kind of results. On one run it passes and on the other run it
fails. So if anyone from MSFT (NDIS group) is looking at this thread,
it would be great if they can confirm the status of the
2c_mini6rsssendrecv test script.

Regards,
NHKR

This sounds like a problem in communication between "message" cards.

When the test completes with error, do you see the NICs used as back channel
card in a working condition,
for eg. are you able to ping to/from those NICs?

You might want to try taking sniffer trace to see whether traffic if
flowing through various NICs.

Praveen, Thanks for the reply,

1. Ping works between test network- Yes
2. Ping works between message network - Yes.

NHKR

You can also run netstat -e -s to check if it shows any pkt errors.
If it shows errors (can be discarded, overflow etc).. that would indicate
something wrong with the NIC and not test.
Also did you check running the tests using back-to-back connection without
switch to rule out issue with switch ports.

Not sure if you have already taken sniffer trace on both test system and
support system when the test is in progress and
check for any dropped pkts.

Ok, but have you seen in "good" logs that FinalRelease is
followed by another send??

[DriverUnload] Unloading NDISTest 6.0 Protocol Driver

--GNR

Im running the test on a back-to-back connection, no switches in
between.

Can we rely on the netstat command for the test interface(if this is
what you meant) because the test interface is worked upon by the NDIS
Test Protocol Driver and not the system/standard protocol driver.

i have seen the sniff results for the test network and there were no
drops. If im not wrong, all the NDIS Test command are passed over the
back-channel network. The commands that are shown in the first message
of this discussion chain are passed over the back channel network.

NHKR
