Include ntddk.h and ndis.h in separate modules (i.e. different files). This
is a pain, but it’s the only solution to the best of my knowledge.

You may also be able to write a NDIS_WDM driver. Add this define to your
SOURCES file:

-DNDIS_WDM=1

This brings in a subset of ntddk.h that is found in wdm.h. If this subset is
sufficient, then you may not need ntddk.h.

Well, yet another solution

#define BINARY_COMPATIBLE 0

prior to #include <ndis.h> or add -DBINARY_COMPATIBLE=0 to SOURCES file. As
a result ndis.h file includes ntddk.h. See the following section in the
ndis.h file (w2k SP1 DDK):

#else // BINARY_COMPATIBLE

#if !NDIS_WDM

//
// The definitions available in ntddk.h are intended for use only by full
// MAC drivers. They must not be used directly by miniport drivers.
//

#include <ntddk.h>

#else

#include <wdm.h>

#endif

#endif // else BINARY_COMPATIBLE

…and ignore included statement about MAC drivers. You can use NT kernel
function in the miniport driver if you know what you’re doing. Of course,
the result isn’t binary compatible with w9x and you won’t get WHQL.

Include NTDDK.H in a separate module (file) from that in which you include
NDIS.H. Annoying? Yes. But it’s the only way to the best of my knowledge.

Would doing this be kosher as far as the WHQL process is concerned? I’m
very interested in doing something like this, but my driver will need to be
redmond apporved.

Probably only if you use limited set of WDM functions. It would be better to
#define NDIS_WDM 1 before including ndis.h, read previous mails in this
thread, Thomas Divine described this solution.
