I have been catching up on changes to the NDIS IM driver sample PASSTHRU
between NT5 DDKs and NT6 WDKs and was surprised and then perplexed by a
change in the INF files associated with this sample.
In NT5, the ‘Adapter’ INF and the ‘NetService’ INF both referred to and
installed the same (driver) service - passthru.
In NT6, the ‘Adapter’ INF now references and installs a (driver) service
named passthruMP and the ‘NetService’ INF continues to reference and install
the (driver) service passthru.
Both services refer to the same binary.
Is there some rule of service entries that PASSTHRU is breaking in NT6 that
NT5 is ambivalent about? Both forms seem to work just fine.
If anyone can offer an explanation for this change, I would appreciate
hearing it.
