| Debugging Tools for Windows |
You can enable different levels of debug tracing in various NDIS components by editing the registry. Typically, you should add the following entries and values to the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NDIS\Parameters registry key:
"DebugSystems"=dword:000030F3
"DebugBreakPoint"=dword:00000001
The following values are acceptable for DebugBreakPoint, DebugLevel and DebugSystems:
| Level | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| DBG_LEVEL_INFO | All available debug information. This is the highest level of trace. | 0x00000000 |
| DBG_LEVEL_LOG | Log information. | 0x00000800 |
| DBG_LEVEL_WARN | Warnings. | 0x00001000 |
| DBG_LEVEL_ERR | Errors. | 0x00002000 |
| DBG_LEVEL_FATAL | Fatal errors, which can cause the operating system to crash. This is the lowest level of trace. | 0x00003000 |
| Component | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| DBG_COMP_INIT | Handles adapter initialization. | 0x00000001 |
| DBG_COMP_CONFIG | Handles adapter configuration. | 0x00000002 |
| DBG_COMP_SEND | Handles sending data over the network. | 0x00000004 |
| DBG_COMP_RECV | Handles receiving data from the network. | 0x00000008 |
| DBG_COMP_PROTOCOL | Handles protocol operations. | 0x00000010 |
| DBG_COMP_BIND | Handles binding operations. | 0x00000020 |
| DBG_COMP_BUSINFO | Handles bus queries. | 0x00000040 |
| DBG_COMP_REG | Handles registry operations. | 0x00000080 |
| DBG_COMP_MEMORY | Handles memory management. | 0x00000100 |
| DBG_COMP_FILTER | Handles filter operations. | 0x00000200 |
| DBG_COMP_REQUEST | Handles requests. | 0x00000400 |
| DBG_COMP_WORK_ITEM | Handles work-item operations. | 0x00000800 |
| DBG_COMP_PNP | Handles Plug and Play operations. | 0x00001000 |
| DBG_COMP_PM | Handles power management operations. | 0x00002000 |
| DBG_COMP_OPENREF | Handles operations that open reference objects. | 0x00004000 |
| DBG_COMP_LOCKS | Handles locking operations. | 0x00008000 |
| DBG_COMP_RESET | Handles resetting operations. | 0x00010000 |
| DBG_COMP_WMI | Handles Windows Management Instrumentation operations. | 0x00020000 |
| DBG_COMP_CO | Handles Connection-Oriented NDIS. | 0x00040000 |
| DBG_COMP_REF | Handles reference operations. | 0x00080000 |
| DBG_COMP_ALL | Handles all NDIS components. | 0xFFFFFFFF |
You can select more than one NDIS component. If more than one component is selected, combine the data values with an OR operator. For example, to select DBG_COMP_PNP, DBG_COMP_PM, DBG_COMP_INIT and DBG_COMP_CONFIG, you would combine the corresponding values (0x1000, 0x2000, 0x1, and 0x2) to obtain the value 0x3003, and then set it in the registry thus:
Whenever you change registry values for debug tracing, you must restart your computer for the new settings to take effect.
