STATUS_NDIS_REQUEST_ABORTED

An in-flight NDIS request was abandoned by the adapter path

STATUS_NDIS_REQUEST_ABORTED says that the miniport stopped processing the specific request. A reset is a documented example, but the important diagnostic unit is the request that was aborted, not merely the application operation that happened to trigger it.

Do not treat this as proof that user cancellation occurred. Record the OID or control request, request identifier, start time, and reset or removal events that overlap it; these distinguish a lifecycle abort from a malformed request.

Evidence that narrows it

  • Correlate the request identifier with MiniportResetEx, cancellation, PnP, and adapter state transitions.
  • Determine whether the request can be safely reconstructed after the adapter reaches a documented ready state.
  • Keep aborted requests separate from STATUS_NDIS_INVALID_DATA and STATUS_NDIS_INVALID_OID, which are validation failures.
