    Hello Members!

    A Latest sneak-peek at the Device Manager have indicated several 'Weird' entries under the Network adapters!

      Hello Dear Patio!

      As far as I can recall...this isn't use to be case with Windows 8?...or was it?
      Do you really think that the Device manager is showing up legible entries & not Ghost entries?

      Here goes the scenario under>>Network Connections<< within my Windows 10 PC.

      Please reveal a more insight.

      WAN Miniport drivers have existed since at least Windows XP:
      .

      As I understand, they provide protocol support to NDIS Network Adapters.
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      You really should start using that PC...instead of spending all this time discovering little nuances on it...
