WHQL tests specs for NDIS Protocol driver

Hi,
I have recently joined this mailing list.
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.
I have got certain doubts regarding the WHQL certification of the driver.

What are the Test Specifications for the NDIS Protocol Driver whose
device is connected to the Windows OS using Ethernet as connecting bus?
Is there any Test Specifications exist for device drivers supporting RTP
in the NDIS Protocol Driver Layer for any 3rd party NICs?

I have gone through the Microsoft site for WHQL and couldn’t find tests
for the certification of driver being used in this kind of scenario.

Regards,
Arvind.

Microsoft WHQL does not include testing for NDIS protocol drivers. You
cannot obtain certification for a NDIS protocol driver.
