Dear,





I installed W2K as guest os in vmware.

As Check the “Bridged” option, Network adapter presented “AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter”.

Mainly, I know that vmware support filter driver development.

Is there any constraint phyical device driver development using vmware?

I will make NIC Driver.

I want to know whether it is possible to develop it using vmware.

Also I would like to use the debugging tool in WinDBG.

Anyone know something about it?





Thanks in advance.

Yes, but there is one subtle point.

NDIS has 2 different ways of receiving packets. And there are chances that AMD PCNET - emulated in VMWare - uses only 1 of them. So, the second path will be untested, and will have good chances to fail on another NIC hardware.

I stepped this on Windows CE only, which uses a customized version of VirtualPC for emulator, but nevertheless.
