Hi All,
I am new to the network stack and developing a miniport driver for my pcmcia
interface based device.
My problem is, do i need to go for a separate NDIS miniport driver
or
a NDIS driver with the it’s lower edge as WDM is required.??
The difference b/w these drivers is, in miniport it is required to support
the entry points of isr , interrrupts etc whereas , in case of ndis-wdm, it
is not required to support these entry points as it is not required to
directly handle the device and hence have to support IRPs in order to call
lower driver pcmcia.sys to manage reads writes etc.
Please clarify.
TIA

You should not need WDM lower edge - straight NDIS should do it… NDIS has
stuff to handle special PCMCIA needs.
