How to manage two NICs in one driver???

NTDEV
1

ETW at boot time???I want to develop a driver like winpcap driver, the function is to catch two NICs’ packets, sort them by time, then send them to the upper application.

To obtain the high performance, I choose to develop a driver, not an upper application.

It seems that it is conflict with the structure of the driver, because the callback functions to do with IRP_MJ_CREATE, IRP_MJ_CLOSE, IRP_MJ_READ, IRP_MJ_WRITE, and IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL requests only do with one special device’s request.

I do not know how to do. Can anyone help me?

ETW at boot time??? You need an NDIS IM driver. Take PASSTHRU sample and adapt to your needs.

Intermediate (filter) driver. Maybe you need NDIS protocol driver instead. What you really need is to examine DDK; read basic info about NDIS in docs and then NDIS samples. PASSTHRU IM driver sample and NDISUIO (XP DDK) or NDISPROT (Server 2003 DDK) protocol driver sample.

ETW at boot time???The WinPCap model is a good one to follow. It uses a NDIS protocol driver to fetch the packets. It then passes them to an upper-level application.

Although I haven’t used WinPCap, it should be able to concurrently fetch packets on more than one NIC at a time.

You can also look at the “Rawether Tour” at http://www.rawether.net. The tour describes the basics of packet collection using NDIS protocol drivers.

You could also use a NDIS Intermediate (IM) driver instead of a NDIS protocol driver. A NDIS protocol driver is certainly simpler than a NDIS IM driver for a new developer.

Good luck,
