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 as of December 2004 are listed. 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)
lists the event log messages supported by the base driver, explains the cause for the message, and provides the
recommended action.
