RNDIS question

NTDEV
1

Hello!
I have the following scenario with respect to Windows 2000 system. Can any
one suggest me what is the best way we can do this?

A Remote-NDIS based device is connected to Windows 2000 machine. Windows
2000 machine does not have the driver corresponding to this device.

I would like to send RNDIS (Remote-NDIS) messages to the device. For
example: REMOTE_NDIS_INITIALIZE_MSG

Is there a possibility in windows that I can send this message by opening
the RNDIS virtual device driver? (Assuming Windows 2000 provides such a
driver)
OR
Is it must that I should write a kernel device driver for this NDIS
device?
Regards,
Guru

The RNDIS drivers (RNDISMP.SYS and USB8023.SYS) are in-box for Windows
XP and greater. The drivers for Windows 2000 (RNDISMPK/USB8023K),
Windows ME (RNDISMPM/USB8023M) and Windows 98 (RNDISMPW/USB8023W) are
available in the RNDIS developer’s kit at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/resources/HWservices/rndis.mspx
along with re-distribution agreements.

Also included in the kit is a template INF. Just change the device ID
and strings, etc…
