Exactly, for now, it works so and works fine, even without patching
OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST :-)

Yes, but on desktop WMI is recommended instead as a replacement, and that's why
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS is deprecated. Any WMI in WinCE?

On the other hand, NDISUIO seems to be the standard part of PPC 2003 platform,
so it can be used. On the desktop, I would need to write my own protocol for
this (or use WMI, which is by far better).
