When an NDIS component such as a LWF originates an OID Set request such as OID_GEN_CURRENT_PACKET_FILTER, NetAdapterCx reads the NDIS_OID_REQUEST, extracts the necessary information from the InformationBuffer, and calls the client driver's EVT_NET_ADAPTER_SET_RECEIVE_FILTER callback. Even though it reads from InformationBuffer, it does not set the NDIS_OID_REQUEST.DATA.SET_INFORMATION.BytesRead member, which has been causing issues (i.e. nmap/npcap#628) for our NDIS LWF that was being strict about checking this member. We are relaxing our code to work around the issue, but NetAdapterCx ought to update it to avoid issues in the future.
