+ The Configure() function is used to set, change, or reset the operational\r
+ parameters for the MNP child driver instance. Until the operational parameters\r
+ have been set, no network traffic can be sent or received by this MNP child\r
+ driver instance. Once the operational parameters have been reset, no more\r
+ traffic can be sent or received until the operational parameters have been set\r
+ again.\r
+ Each MNP child driver instance can be started and stopped independently of\r
+ each other by setting or resetting their receive filter settings with the\r
+ Configure() function.\r
+ After any successful call to Configure(), the MNP child driver instance is\r
+ started. The internal periodic timer (if supported) is enabled. Data can be\r
+ transmitted and may be received if the receive filters have also been enabled.\r
+ Note: If multiple MNP child driver instances will receive the same packet\r
+ because of overlapping receive filter settings, then the first MNP child\r
+ driver instance will receive the original packet and additional instances will\r
+ receive copies of the original packet.\r
+ Note: Warning: Receive filter settings that overlap will consume extra\r
+ processor and/or DMA resources and degrade system and network performance.\r
