Hi,
I am writing a driver for pcmcia card for cisco
aironet 350 series client adapters. In the DriverEntry
routine,I don’t know whether
NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS or
NDIS_PROTOCOL_CHARACTERISTICS structure to select.
Also I don’t know what values to use for the
parameters of the structure selected. I am new to
device driver. Can any one help me ?

regards,
Suresh

NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS or

Miniport. This is a hardware adapter driver.

If you are writing a miniport driver for an adapter, then you should be
using NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS.

You should examine the DDK documentation about writing miniport drivers. You
should alos examine the DDL miniport driver samples.

Good luck,
