is it possible to debug driver over wireless network?

NTDEV
1

hi,
my target pc has no serial port, no network cable port, and it is not easy for me to find usb debug cable. can you please tell me if I can debug driver with wireless network?
I find one “Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter” in device manager, and I’m wondering if it is dedicated for kernel debug?

or, if it is not ok to use wireless, is it possible to use USB to com converter, or usb to LAN converter?

Thank you.

You can’t use wireless. It has to be a native NIC or com port without converters since the normal driver stack is not loaded when using the device as a debugger transport, it is entirely controlled by a different kernel module.

Thank you for quick response, Doran.
so, the only way left is to use USB debug cable (there is no firewire too
in target pc).

btw. can you please tell me something more about “Microsoft Kernel Debug
Network Adaper”? what is it for? and when it will be used?

Thanks, Laptua.
VMvare is not applicable to my case. my driver need invoke specical method
through bios. so I have to debug it on real platform.

It is used for debugging and routing networking over the debug cable

do you have PCIe or express card slots ? There are PCIe/Express cards based firewire adapters and they work really well for debugging.

Add-in 1394 boards are very affordable. That has ALWAYS been the most
reliable solution for me.
