Re: WindowsMobile DDK?

Yes. Pocket PC has no means of debugging NDIS IMs except fopen()/fprintf(),
which are - a relaxation - can be called from any context - MiniportSend etc.
The only way of debugging is to install PB, build the "PDA" custom platform
sample, install your driver there and debug using PB's debugger.
Unfortunately, neither Wi-Fi pecularities nor power management can be
debugged this way.
