NdisSetEvent and NdisInitializeEvent in VPacket sample in 98ddk

NTDEV
1

I added the NdisInitializeEvent and NdisSetEvent calls in the Vpacket
Sample. When build it reports Link errors that they are unresolved external
symbols. Anyone know why and how to resolve these errors?

Thanks

Ken

Unfortunately, Vpacket is a VxD - not a NDIS miniport or NDIS WDM driver
(i.e., not a .SYS PE driver).

The NDIS wrapper services that you are attempting to use simply are not
exported as VxD services. You cannot use them from a VxD.

Good luck,

NdisSetEvent and NdisInitializeEvent are not exported to VxDs; however,
they are exported to the PE Loader’s export table, so writing a protocol
driver using the Windows 2000 DDK as a .SYS driver will expose these
functions.

This will have the added benefit of letting you use the same (or similar
driver based on the same source code base) across all Windows platforms
(98/98SE/ME/2K/XP).Take a look at the Windows XP DDK sample NDISUIO as a
starting point.

You’ll have to modify the .INF file. Posted below. The proper way to
rewrite the .INF is to have an inf that handles all 9x/ME->2K/XP
platforms through .NT, etc, directives…
