Re: NDIS5.1 driver in Vista

Hi mate

I am trying to get the handle using the IoGetDeviceObjectPointer()
function from another driver, But it always returns
STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED. What could be the reason for such behaviour?

"The reason for such behaviour" is obvious-- you are just not supposed
to access miniport drivers this way. If you want someoene, apart from
NDIS library, to call your miniport driver, you have to register a
standalone device with NdisMRegisterDevice(), and forward all calls to
this device

Hi All,
I am using my NDIS 5.1 miniport driver written for WinXP prof in
Vista Build 5600 (Vista RC1).
The driver is running fine for it supports the backward compatibility,
but I am unable to get the handle for my network device for the driver
I have.

The same setup ( NDIS miniport driver and the other driver from which i
am trying to get the NDIS handle ) works fine.

Looking forward for your response.....
