Numega Virtual NIC installation problem

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I’m trying tov write a virtual NIC miniport.
As a starting point I took the Numega DriverNetworks wizard and create
a basic driver. during the wizard I specified that this is going to be
Virtual NIC (no hardware).
As an output I got an INF file.
I also compiled the driver and placed the sys file in the same directory where
the INF file is locate.
Also, the parameter Characteristics in the INF file sets to 0x81 that mean
NCF_HAS_UI (0x80) & NCF_VIRTUAL (0x1)

I’m trying to install this driver using the INF and I’m getting:

The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.

I’m doing that by going to the Network Connections UI, select Local Area Connection and open Properties. Click Install, then Protocol, then Add, and then Have disk.Then point to the location of the .inf and driver.

Any help,

OS.

Did You define your device as a type “Net” in you inf file? If yes, you can’t add a network card like this. You need to go to the control pannel, Add/Remove Hardware to add it.

I followed the Vdev sample in Driver Studio, it is a virtual network card driver. It works.
