You should have the TCP/IP stack in your card's firmware. Is it OK?

I have a PCI driver to perform register read/writes/DMA to a PCI card.
The PCI card in question has a embedded controller/OS built in.
I have been asked to look in to a way of creating a virtual network
connection over PCI, to the embedded controller on the PCI card (using
some shared buffers on the hardware). Basically so you can do things
like FTP firmware files between the two devices. This is along side the
existing interface to directly read/write/DMA data.
I've never done network drivers on windows so if anyone can give me a
starting point it would be great. E.g. should I be writing a
intermediate network driver, which communicates to my PCI driver??
In terms of the hardware it looks like a separate 'function' for just
doing the networking side won't be possible, so I can't write a
straight network driver.
Thanks
