Re: obtaining vista logo for ndis+wdm drivers

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

to get a vista logo (any type) for an NDIS-WDM driver, the lower WDF half
must be written using KMDF.

Hi everyone,

I mistakenly sent this to microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev
forum, but I think this forum is more appropriate (sorry for the noise)

In the "Windows Logo Program 3.0" document I read the following
paragraph:


"A driver for an Ethernet device must make only NDIS or WDF calls. Any
calls to kernel mode components are not allowed."


Yet I am not sure what this sentence implies, especially I am not sure
about the following:


1. Is the NDIS + WDM lower edge (USB) model which was intreduced by
DDK still valid for:
Basic logo for Vista?
Premium logo for Vista?


or one must use NDIS+ WDF for new drivers?


2. I could not find any mandatory use of NDIS 6.0 for ethernet drivers
(regular not giga)
Can I assume than that I can obtain both Premium and Basic logo for
Vista using NDIS 5.x ?


Thanks
Miki
