Query regarding NIC driver for PCMCIA

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I am developing a driver for a PCMCIA modem which needs to be exposed as
a network interface to the operating system (all Windows based operating
systems). I have some queries on these lines :-

  • Is it possible to write a NDIS miniport driver and load this driver for
    the PCMCIA modem?
  • How do I make it list the modem under the network devices category?
  • What is the procedure by which the PCMCIA devices are categorised?
  • Will the generic enabler provided as part of the operating system be able
    to expose the modem as a network device or should I write a specific enabler
    to achieve the same functionality?
  • Will the enabler (generic or specific) behave as the device driver or will
    it load a device specific driver to handle the detected device?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
S.Balaji

Maybe it is better to write a serial-compatible driver for it and let
standard NDISWAN/AsyncMac do the job?

Hi,
I need to expose it as a network interface card to the operating system
rather than going through the standard NDISWAN interface. I want to know the
way PCMCIA enablers handle detection of devices and loading drivers for the
same.
