NDIS Miniport Driver

NTDEV
1

Hi All,

I developed Miniport driver and installed it on 2k machine.
It gets installed and I can see the new local area connection in
“Network and Dial-up Connections”.
I configured the TCP/IP protocol with valid IP address, But when I
execute “ipconfig” command it doesn’t display my card’s information and
my Miniport driver’s sendpackets handler is never called. Please let me
know what extra setting I should do so that system will call my send
handler and “ipconfig” command should display my NIC’s information.

Regards,
Girish

Since you’re able to set the IP Address, I assume that TCPIP is bound to
you. However, TCPIP might not be utilizing your miniport if you failed
a required OID. Is your request handler getting called for any OIDs
that you are not handling?

This would be a perfect time to start using NDIS Tester – while you’re
developing your driver instead of at the end of the process. The latest
tester is at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/resources/HWservices/NDIS-tools.mspx
. There’s a great article on using the NDIS Tester at

By my experience you may need indicate link speed and connection
status to NDIS.

good luck
