RE: Re:Driver Programming Fundamentals/Philosophy, was: Re: Calling NdisRequest() from ProtoclBi

Don,

I will add you to my list of people who I ask to please tell me the products that you work on, so I > can be sure to avoid them and tell my customers to.

I am almost sure that this stupid post was made by someone who has not written a *SINGLE* driver in his entire life, so that I could not even be bothered to reply to it - anyone who ever wrote drivers knows that it is so much more than “picking up an API” , so that it just does not even make sense to explain to this guy what kernel-mode programming is all about. After all, he is unaware even of the fact that, in actuality, there are not that many drivers that deal directly with IO registers
(i.e. only the lowest-level drivers on their respective stacks), which makes me believe that the whole concept of driver stacks is a mystery for him…
