Implementing an NDIS 6.1 Driver

  • Article

An NDIS 6.1 driver must report the correct NDIS version when it registers with NDIS:

  • You must update the major and minor NDIS version number in the NDIS_Xxx_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS structure to support NDIS 6.1. The MajorNdisVersion member must contain 0x06 and the MinorNdisVersion member must contain 0x01. This requirement applies to miniport, protocol, and filter drivers.

  • Miniport drivers must set the Header member of NDIS_MINIPORT_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS: Set Revision to NDIS_MINIPORT_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2 and Size to NDIS_SIZEOF_MINIPORT_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2.

  • Filter drivers must set the Header member of NDIS_FILTER_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS: Set Revision to NDIS_FILTER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2 and Size to NDIS_SIZEOF_FILTER_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2.

  • Protocol drivers must set the Header member of NDIS_PROTOCOL_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS: Set Revision to NDIS_PROTOCOL_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2 and Size to NDIS_SIZEOF_PROTOCOL _DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2.
