Thank you for your reply, Maxim. Yes, it is easy to start and stop
network adapters in Pocket PC: the IOCTL_NDIS_[UN,RE]BIND_ADAPTER &
the IOCTL_NDIS_[DE]REGISTER_ADAPTER calls are rather useful as well
as their Ndis call counterparts. Sure, miniport uninstalls bring
the sockets down and I'm fine with that.
Well, as there have been no other suggestions, I'll stick to the
original plan and implement the IM programmatic uninstall manually
myself...
