Hello All,
I am supposed to write a Driver for a PCMCIA network card, along with which it should be able to handle the IOCTL calls to read and write from/to contents of PCMCIA attribute memory content.
Is it possible for a Miniport driver to support an IOCTL requests ? if yes, which function of the driver will handle that requests. e.g. we have DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL] in the kernel mode driver.
If it is not possible for a Miniport driver to support IOCTL call; should I write 2 separate driver ? one using NDIS which will be the functional driver. and the second a kernel mode driver which will respond to user level applications.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Its possible to have custom IOCTL requests for an NDIS miniport driver.
All the user mode IOCTL requests will end up in the NdisQueryInformation
Handler.
Regards,
Rajiv.

Use NdisMRegisterDevice in your miniport. This will create the device
and symbolic link.

Hi,
I found the following Knowledge Base article on the PCAUSA website to be
very helpful. It outlines the pros - cons of different NDIS miniport -
user mode interactions.
