NT Deserialized Driver

NTDEV
1

Hi,

A while ago I had posted some question relating to the NDIS 5 W2K deserialized driver.

Now I’m trying to port that driver to NDIS 4 NT.

I am facing problems compling the driver and it says that the NDIS_ATTRIBUTE_DESERIAL is not recognized and that MinportReservedEx is not a part of the NDIS_PACKET structure.

Can anyone tell me if NT supports deserialized drivers and if so, then where do I get the header and library files to compile it?

Thanx
Ramit.

You can use ndis.h and ndis.lib from w2k DDK. Your driver should work on NT4
(SP3+) if you use NDIS 4 stuctures and functions only. The second
possibility is to download imsamp example from m$ web. It contains updated
ndis.h which includes deserialized drivers support.

Thanks for all the info.

I’ve got the new Ndis.h and .lib files and have complied the driver for NT, with sp6 I am able to access the MiniportReservedEx area now.

I’ve also managed to find the cause of the panic, the problem was that I was queueing all the packets that I couldn’t send, this was causing problems, now when the cable is down I return the packets using NdisMSendComplete and Status as NO_CABLE and the rest of packets I queue.
It seems to be working fine now.
Apparently when I queue the intial packets when the link is down and system comes up, it times out the packets and then deallocates them and them when I try to access them later it panics, now with returning the packets it seems to be working fine.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Ramit.
