NDIS only reports miniports to the Power Manager if they support NDIS power management (that is, if they support OID_PNP_CAPABILITIES). So, not all miniports are power manageable using the Power Manager. For example, the NE2000 Ethernet miniport is not power manageable because it does not support OID_PNP_CAPABILITIES.
