OK, I didn't really know how it was being used here. There's no real standard for that use btw.

Swell, I think the module parm description is misleading. I think it'd be better to reference "(NETIF_MSG bits)" like the TI drivers do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
