Hello,
This message may seem repeated as dummy NDIS miniport has been already discussed sometime ago. While digging the archives, I found one INF file for a miniport sample (from Hassan). I have a similar situation where I have a virtual miniport driver, meant to transport data later to Bluetooth devices. As of now, I am not dealing with the packet transfer but just want to make the skeleton NDIS driver working in terms of installation. I have tried the INF file listed by Hassan, by changing the binary names appropriately.
I have tried many times to get a successful installation of the dummy/virtual adapter, but to no avail so far. Could someone give me a guideline how I can achieve a successful installation?
The driver entry routine for my driver is given below for reference, should this be useful.
NTSTATUS DriverEntry( IN PDRIVER_OBJECT DriverObject,
IN PUNICODE_STRING RegistryPath )
{
NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS characteristics;
NTSTATUS ulNtStatus = STATUS_SUCCESS;
DBG_PRINT(( DRIVERNAME “==>DriverEntry\n” ));
// initialize global variables
…
// Save the name of the service key
…
RtlCopyUnicodeString(&servkey, RegistryPath);
//
// Initialise the NDIS wrapper.
//
NdisMInitializeWrapper(&g_hBtNdisWrapperHandle, DriverObject, RegistryPath, NULL);
//
// Set up the characteristics table for the intermediate driver.
//
NdisZeroMemory(&characteristics, sizeof(NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS));
characteristics.MajorNdisVersion = 3;
characteristics.MinorNdisVersion = 0;
characteristics.InitializeHandler = BtNdisInitialize;
characteristics.QueryInformationHandler = BtNdisQueryInformation;
characteristics.SetInformationHandler = BtNdisSetInformation;
characteristics.ResetHandler = BtNdisReset;
characteristics.TransferDataHandler = BtNdisTransferData;
characteristics.HaltHandler = BtNdisHalt;
characteristics.CheckForHangHandler = BtNdisCheckForHang;
characteristics.SendHandler = BtNdisSend;
…
// Register the intermediate driver with NDIS.
//
ulNtStatus =
NdisMRegisterMiniport(
g_hBtNdisWrapperHandle,
&characteristics,
sizeof(characteristics)
);
done:
// on failure, must call explicitly to do cleanup
if( !NT_SUCCESS( ulNtStatus ) )
NdisTerminateWrapper(g_hBtNdisWrapperHandle, NULL);
DBG_PRINT((DRIVERNAME “<==DriverEntry (NtStatus %#x)\n”, ulNtStatus ));
return ulNtStatus;
}
The INF file is also listed below:
