HLK tests for a network analyzer driver

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I am trying to get a driver for a device I developed to pass the HLK tests in order to get it signed on the dashboard (as requested by Windows 10 1607).
I have set up everything I need (HLK Manager/Studio and the clients) and the tests are running fine.

My problem is that in the list of the required tests generated by HLK studio, I have tests for NDIS requiring the device to send and receive data on a network.
The device is a network analyzer, so although it is seen as a NIC, it can only receive data and cannot send any.
So the driver is obviously not going to pass this tests.
Could someone tell my what I am missing there? Is there a way to tell the HLK suite that my device cannot send data?

Regards,
Nicolas

I am really stuck on this.
Does anyone have some insight on this kind of problem?

Please check in any network analyzer tool , check for ping from your
system to other system . May be your network driver doesn’t implement
broadcast packet.
So you can think and come up.
Check in oid implementation if you miss.

Aftel all your test cases using any network analyzer tool and ping success
of all support packet it should support…all it works you can come to hlk
and pass all test cases and get into certifications.

You are missing the point here.
The device driver as been working for a few years since Windows 7.
Only now, I need to pass the HLK tests to get the driver signed on the dashboard.
When I try to run the HLK tests, I get a list of tests including tests to check the network communication of the device (both receiving and transmitting), for example the 2c_Mini6SendRecvReply test. My device is a network analyzer, so it is designed to be only able to receive data. It cannot send any.
So all the tests for data transmission will fail, no matter what I do.

Is there any way I could prevent these tests to be added to the required tests list?

You should contact the WHQL support folks. It’s possible you can get a
variance in this situation.

Ok, I will do that.
Thank you Tim!
