Exactly ,WDM is only source code compatible thing…you cant provide binary
compatibility between 98 and 2000. Never.

This is a bit inaccurate. Binary compatibility for most WDM drivers is
*certainly* possible, at the very least by using WDMSTUB to implement a
few functions that 98/Me don’t natively support. It’s probably
impossible to write a binary *or* source compatible NDIS miniport
because of important differences between various versions of NDIS,
though. (Unless by “source compatible” you mean “same C files with tons
of conditional compilation”.)

I have kept a list of issues to keep in mind if developing
multi-platform NDIS drivers that I can send out on request.

It might be useful to post it here and in
microsoft.public.development.device.drivers. There are a truly enormous
number of NDIS questions in these newsgroups.
