If your driver is to run on Windows 2000 and higher, build like the DDK sources file says. Your driver will actually be compatible with NDIS 5.
Of your driver is to run only on Windows XP or higher, build like the DDK sources file says. Your driver will actually be compatible with NDIS 5.1.

it is evident that for a w2k build ndis 4.0 will be used and for xp/2003 ndis
5.1 will be used.
I just spent some time researching the different versions of ndis and its
seems ndis 4.0 is real old and ndis 5.0 was introduced in w2k. Why then does
passthru want to be built using ndis 4.0 for w2k and not ndis 5.0?
The sources file looks like this ...
!if "$(DDK_TARGET_OS)"=="Win2K"
#
# The driver is built in the Win2K build environment
#
C_DEFINES=$(C_DEFINES) -DNDIS40_MINIPORT=1
C_DEFINES=$(C_DEFINES) -DNDIS40=1
!else
#
# The driver is built in the XP or .NET build environment
# So let us build NDIS 5.1 version.
#
C_DEFINES=$(C_DEFINES) -DNDIS51_MINIPORT=1
C_DEFINES=$(C_DEFINES) -DNDIS51=1
!endif
I am tempted to change it to ...
!if "$(DDK_TARGET_OS)"=="Win2K"
#
# The driver is built in the Win2K build environment
#
C_DEFINES=$(C_DEFINES) -DNDIS50_MINIPORT=1
C_DEFINES=$(C_DEFINES) -DNDIS50=1
!else
...
Can anyone help me out here?
