Windows System Event Log Messages
The known base driver and intermediate driver Windows System Event Log status messages for the Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapters are listed in the following section. 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)
Table 15
lists the event log messages supported by the base driver, explains the cause for the message, and
