Hi All,
I have written a kernel driver for a device connected via LAN to the
system on which kernel driver is installed.
Basically driver process the ITDM Frame sent over Ethernet. Its a NDIS
Protocol Driver.

Can u please suggest me the things to be taken care if i need to
enhance my driver for the dual processor support?

Reagrds,
Arvind.

There is nothing which can tell if you correctly wrote a driver for SMP
operation. However, if you closely
observed and followed NT operation rules, your driver will work on
SMP.

Make use of Mutex Objects & spinlocks to synchronize access to
resources. If you have created threads, this is extremely important
for SMP system
