GigEConfigure freezes when trying to Activate/Deactivate the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver a Link Aggregation Group(LAG)

Symptoms

Activating or deactivating the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver on a Link Aggregation Group (LAG for short) using GigEConfigure, the NDIS filter driver will freeze and the process cannot be killed even with task manager. After a restart, GigEConfigure will show the filter driver status correctly however. Also when connecting a debugger the situation as described here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/0735c73e-6d2e-49ab-a947-e10fe8137ac3/ndis-driver-freezes-during-install-via-inetcfgclasssetupinstall?forum=wdk can be observed.

Cause

The exact cause for this issue is unknown but it is believed to be a bug in the network cards kernel module.

Resolution

So far, to avoid this behavior disconnect both network cables just before activating or deactivating the GigE Vision™ capture filter driver. Afterwards reconnect the network cables again.
