Hello,
The sample MUX driver from Windows 2003 server DDK
does not work with Wirelss NIC(802.11b) cards… I am
able to send packets out but when the wireless driver
indicates the packets to the MUX, the mux Rx handlers
are not invoked…Looks like the binding is broken…
The MUX works fine with the Wired LAN driver…
Wired and wirless have the same upper and lower
edge…
I am running Windows XP and using standard PCMCIA
wireless cards like Cisco’s Aironet…
Any ideas…
-Daniel

I do have a pretty crappy driver that came w/linksys *.11a, but my laptop
w/XP sp1, MUX worked, I was able to do some testing to see if it really
works or not …

What characteristics does the MUX look for in a
Miniport…I tried it with other 11b
cards(Intersil,Cisco, Marvel…) and it does not work
with them…
On another note does anyone know from where to get the
debug Ndis.sys other than installing a Debug version
of XP…Is it possible to just extract ndis.sys from
the CD…
Thanks
Daniel

Yeah, but you have to be fast. 
What I usually do (for lack of having
thought of anything more elegant) is get a checked service pack and
start the isntaller. It’ll extract all its files before realizing that
it can’t install. Just end the task at an appropriate time and you’ll
be left with the files in a temp directory somewhere.
I usually use a checked kernel, hal, ndis, and tcpip for any serious
network driver development. Using other checked components just slows
down the system for little degugging gain. Adjust to suit the kind of
driver you’re working on, of course.
I’m sure there’s a proper way to do this, but this will get you started
until someone clues us in.

Isn’t there that expand utility anymore, that used to come with nt CD, that
command line that takes ntoskrnl_ or some filename like this and expand it
to a given path …
Also not sure, but may be it would better to get the checked version of
ntoskrnl and hal along with ndis. IIRC, that both has to be there at a
minimum for proper behavior …
