Hi NTDEV,
I am working on an NDIS 5/6 protocol driver based on KMDF NDISPROT example. My question is does this example support both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows? How about other KMDF examples?
Thanks,
Charles
KMDF is fully 64 bit compatible, they will support both 32 and 64 bit. You
should definitely use KMDF when possible, unless you can do the work with
UMDF.

How about KMDF NDISPROT 5.0 example built under Windows 2000 build environment (for W2K backward compatible)? Can I take the same driver binary and run it on x64 Windows without any problem?
Thanks,

No. The Win64 systems all require 64-bit drivers. You have to have
separate binaries.

Sadly you cannot currently do an NDIS protocol driver with UMDF. I
don’t know if you’ll be able to in the future (the NDIS guys weren’t
particularly interested in the idea, but that could change as we get
more stuff moved into UMDF)

Create a tiny NDISPORT-like shim in the kernel and then you will de-facto have
the user mode protocol driver.
