	NDIS Developer's Reference
		NDIS is short for the "Network Driver Interface Specification".
		NDIS also provides a library of functions (sometimes called a "wrapper") that can be used by MAC drivers as well as higher level protocol drivers (such as TCP/IP).
		Early versions of NDIS were jointly developed by Microsoft and the 3Com Corporation.

	Network Driver Interface Specification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was jointly developed by Microsoft and 3Com Corporation, and is mostly used in Microsoft Windows on Intel-based computers, but the open-source ndiswrapper project allows many NDIS-compliant NICs to be used with Linux.
		The NDIS is a Logical Link Control (LLC) that forms the upper sublayer of the OSI data link layer (layer 2 of 7) and acts as an interface between layer 2 and 3 (the Network Layer).
		The NDIS is a library of functions often referred to as a "wrapper" that hides the underlying complexity of the NIC hardware and serves as a standard interface for level 3 network protocol drivers and the hardware level MAC drivers.

	Adding Packet Drivers to NDIS
		NDIS 3.x was introduced in Windows NT and is supported in Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
		NDIS modules are loaded and configured automatically during the standard installation process for Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, or Windows 95 (Chicago).
		By holding off, and performing the Binding function last, NDIS can tolerate a configuration that is slightly jiggled (say by loading some of the communications protocols before some of the Ethernet drivers).

	Remote NDIS (RNDIS) and Windows
		NDIS provides simplified miniport device driver architecture to enable transports to communicate with network adapters using common driver interfaces.
		The architecture to support this mapping is accomplished by creating an NDIS miniport driver that implements the Remote NDIS message set and communicates with generic bus transport drivers, which in turn communicate with the appropriate bus driver.
		Microsoft will generally provide Remote NDIS drivers for Windows platforms where the Windows operating system provides support for a particular bus technology and there is sufficient demand for network devices on a particular bus.

	NDIS Task Force Report
		The plan is to be developed by the NDIS Task Force with the assistance of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and affected institutions, and the Texas Office of the Attorney General.
		The NDIS Task force is charged with ensuring that impacted state agencies in Texas achieve HIPAA compliance by the mandated deadlines.
		Based on the results of this analysis, the NDIS Task Force adopted the recommendation of the HHSC PMO to allow each agency to pursue its own implementation of HIPAA with coordination and integration activities to be provided by the PMO, in conjunction with the NDIS Task Force.

	Network Driver Standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Since NDIS is a standard interface, the network protocol doesn’t need to know anything about the NIC driver and the NIC driver doesn’t need to know anything about the protocol.
		The NDIS driver is implemented as NDIS.SYS and is referred to as the NDIS wrapper.
		The NDIS wrapper is a small piece of code that surrounds all of the manufacturer-specific device drivers called miniport drivers.

		This means that the fields that are defined in the structure should not be directly accessed and that their definition will probably change from one NDIS version to another.
		One must insure header+lookahead bytes are in the first NDIS buffer descriptor for Windows 2000 and higher.
		This is mechanism that allows a NDIS IM driver to pass a packet to an adjacent driver without having to allocate a "fresh" packet descriptor.

	PCCA: NDIS 201
		The NDIS driver is supplied by the network hardware vendor, e.g., ethernet card vendor or wireless modem vendor, because these vendors are the ones that best know how to control their networking hardware.
		Recognizing that Microsoft and the entire networking industry were standardizing on NDIS, along with WinSock 2, the PCCA embarked on an effort to add wireless extensions to NDIS that has resulted in extensions common to all wireless networks and extensions specific for different wireless networks.
		While the wireless extensions are defined as part of NDIS 4.0, it is also possible to take advantage of the wireless extensions with existing versions of NDIS, including NDIS 3.1, an approach currently taken in RAM and Ericsson’s joint effort to develop a wireless NDIS driver for Mobitex.

	Technetra : Wireless networking using NDIS Wrapper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		NDIS Wrapper allows the Linux kernel to interact with a network device using the Microsoft NDIS driver for that device.
		NDIS Wrapper translates calls to the Windows NT kernel and hardware abstraction layer into native Linux calls.
		The Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS) was jointly developed by Microsoft and 3Com in the days of MSDOS to provide a device-driver programming interface allowing multiple network protocols to share the same network device.

	Extending the PassThru NDIS IM Driver - Part 1
		Of more significance is that if NDIS unbinds all adapters on the PassThru driver and attempts to unload the driver, the unload will not happen until all handles on the PassThru device are closed.
		The input buffer is used to pass the NDIS object identifier (OID) of interest to the driver.
		Because I have been working with NDIS since the days of NDIS 2.0, TSRs and "Windows for Workgroups" (how many remember that?) I thought that the introductory topic of adding a DeviceIoControl API to PassThru and at least getting to the point of making synchronous NDIS requests would be "a walk in the park".

	WD-3 - NDIS Driver Compile Flags
		NDIS achieves this compatibility by providing a complete set of interface functions, which NDIS drivers use instead of directly calling system functions provided by the operating system.
		The reason is that NDIS spin lock functions are implemented as no-ops in Windows 9x/Me and NDIS interlocked functions are not synchronized.
		NDIS miniports were originally "serialized", which means that the NDIS Wrapper library takes care of not calling more than one function concurrently in a serialized miniport at any time.

	Tips for configuring NDIS drivers
		NDIS drivers consist of the Microsoft NDIS support files, which are part of the set of files called the Microsoft Client, and a network interface card (NIC) driver that is specific to the NIC.
		This information is a general guide for NDIS configuration and is not intended to replace information from your NIC manufacturer or from Microsoft.
		Configuring your NDIS drivers involves editing Protocol.ini to add entries specific to the computer that the boot disk will be used on.

	Where is Bill Paul's NDIS miniport driver wrapper?
		This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86.
		There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use).
		This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows.SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying.INF file.

		Flexibility NDIS protocol stacks are media aware --they contain media knowledge in the protocol stack.
		The method NDIS employs to support multiple protocol stacks can also be an issue, especially in cases where true multiprotocol support is needed.
		When a system uses multiple protocol stacks, NDIS is set up to daisy chain the packets from stack to stack (through the Protocol Manager) until the packet is recognized and received.

		Remote NDIS (RNDIS) is a specification for network devices on dynamic Plug and Play I/O buses such as USB and InfiniBand.
		Remote NDIS eliminates the need for device manufacturers to write an NDIS miniport device driver by defining a bus-independent message set and a description of how this message set operates over a various I/O buses.
		USB Remote NDIS could also be used to add USB connectivity to legacy TCP/IP devices by passing the network connectivity over USB, thereby saving the need to change the device firmware or host drivers.
