Network driver

NTDEV
1

Hi All,

I am trying to write a “simple” network driver that opens/registers a network adapter and supports sockets to on it. There is no hardware device that the driver is going to handle.

I have some experience writing drivers on Windows Platform but i am totally a novice on Networking concepts.

Please suggest the best way to approach this. Are there example codes for a network driver?

Thanks in advance.

Look at the NDISEDGE/PCIDRV sample this will give you a working NDIS driver
with an underlying driver that you can do what you want with. There are
versions of the in both WDM and KMDF, though I would use KMDF unless you
really need to support a platform that KMDF does not handle.
