ioctl interface on NDIS miniport ?

NTDEV
1

Hi all,
we have developed a NDIS miniport driver for our device.I want know,whether there is any way to write an IOCTL interface to a NDIS miniport driver,so that our propritory applications can write/read device registers for some debugging purposes.Already PCI memory base address is avalable on the miniport driver.So if the application has some interface to driver to call CreateFile/ReadFile/WriteFile, to the miniport,miniport is able to repond to those request.

Welcome any suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
Reeja

Reeja,

  1. Take a look at NdisMRegisterDevice in the DDK (don’t use
    IoCreateDevice/IoCreateSymbolicName in a miniport).

  2. or you can have a thin protocol driver bound to your miniport that
    exposes a IOCTL interface to your user-space application (via
    IoCreateDevice and IoCreateSymbolicName) and then passes your miniport
    private OIDs via NdisRequest. See the NDISUIO sample.

  3. or review use of IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS in the NT4 DDK MACADDR
    sample for passing OIDs down to your miniport. This method is not
    available in 9x/ME.
