This would be the easiest but I have concerns that some other parameters would be updated as well in new versions of NDIS.
I am checking into it.
Thank you,
Eitan

Thanks Eitan. Like you say, we don't want to loose any NIC parameters that we previously received in call to HvCreateNic().

We could possibly only copy the 'friendly name' from port params and leave the rest as it is, instead of doing a HvDeletePort() and HvCreatePort().

Thanks,
