    3Com has something they call Demand Protocol Architecture, which allows
    protocol stacks to be loaded and unloaded in an NDIS environment.  Is
    this something layered on top of NDIS then, so that not all NDIS stacks
    support it?

Yes.  It leaves a stub behind to stay bound to the NDIS driver when you
unload the stack, but I don't think  they publish the interface.  Conceptually
very much like the Packet Driver adapter, which can be used by anyone...
