WINDOWS SYSTEM EVENT LOG MESSAGES
The known base and intermediate Windows System Event Log status messages for the Broadcom NetXtreme II adapters
are listed in Table8 and Table 9. As a Broadcom adapter driver loads, Windows places a status code in the system event
viewer. There may be up to two classes of entries for these event codes depending on whether both drivers are loaded (one
set for the base or miniport driver and one set for the intermediate or teaming driver).
BASE DRIVER (PHYSICAL ADAPTER/MINIPORT)
The base driver is identified by source L2ND. Table8 lists the event log messages supported by the base driver, explains
the cause for the message, and provides the recommended action.
Note: In Table8, message numbers 1 through 17 apply to both NDIS 5.x and NDIS 6.x drivers, message numbers
18 through 23 apply only to the NDIS 6.x dri ver.
