Will Ndis5.1 driver works for Win7

NTDEV

Hi,
I have Ndis5.1 mini port driver that works fine for WinXP.
I cross compiled the same driver for Win7 with *WDK* *7600.16385.1*.
I am facing some issue (system freeze)after connecting to the access
point.Please suggest me the way for debugging the system freeze issue.

Did any one tried to compile and work the Ndis5.1 version driver for Win7???

Please provide me some information regarding this.

Thanks in Advance

My NDIS5.1 drivers work under all versions of Windows from XP - 2008 R2
(and even under 2000 but as NDIS5.0 obviously). You mention access point
so I assume your drivers are 802.11 wireless drivers or something
similar, which mine are not, so maybe the fact that mine work doesn’t
help.

Is your Windows 7 platform 32 or 64 bits?

What sort of system freeze is it? Can you still move the mouse? Does the
debugger allow you to break into the system when frozen?

Can you determine if it is the first tx or rx packet that causes the
freeze?

Do you have the verifier enabled? It should catch anything you are doing
that is obviously wrong. It sounds like the DMA verifier might be useful
in your case.

Good luck!

@OP: if you compile legacy NDIS 5.x driver with WDK 7600, set the target to WinXP,
so that all these NDIS version macros are set to NDIS5.

For debugging system freezes you may just use windbg and verifier to track obvious errors.
