NDIS Miniport drivers can also use Windows Driver Model interfaces to control network hardware. [19] Another driver type is NDIS Intermediate Driver. Intermediate drivers sit in-between the MAC and IP layers and can control all traffic being accepted by the NIC. In practice, intermediate drivers implement both miniport and protocol interfaces ...
Miniport is a type of device driver in Microsoft Windows that implements hardware-specific or function-specific subset of the full driver stack. [1] Examples include: NDIS Miniport
The miniport drivers, like the miniclass drivers, are supplied by the hardware vendors and support only device specific operations of peripheral hardware that is connected to a port on the mainboard. [3] [4] Each driver that processes an I/O request for a device has a corresponding object, which is loaded into main memory. A device object is ...
NDIS 6.0 introduced in Windows Vista supports offloading IPv6 traffic and checksum calculations for IPv6, improved manageability, scalability and performance with reduced complexity for NDIS miniports, and simpler models for writing Lightweight Filter Drivers (LWF). LWF drivers are a combination of NDIS intermediate drivers and a miniport ...
NDISwrapper enables a Unix-like system to use Windows drivers of type NDIS and WIFI. It was useful at a time where there were no Linux Wi-Fi drivers for common Wi-Fi cards. It is composed of: An NDIS driver, which is a kind of overlay for Ethernet device drivers. A Wi-Fi manager, to control the radio and security part of the Wi-Fi card.
NDIS 6.20 [102] (Network Driver Interface Specification) WWAN (Mobile broadband) support (driver model based on NDIS miniport driver for CDMA and GSM device interfaces, Connection Manager support and Mobile Broadband COM and COM Interop API).
NDIS may refer to: . National Disability Insurance Scheme, Australian disability support service scheme; National DNA Index System, an American interstate DNA database; Network Driver Interface Specification, computer application programming interface for network interface cards
NDIS 5.1 has performance enhancements, Plug and Play and Power event notifications for miniport drivers, send cancellation and 64-bit statistic counters. Remote NDIS supports USB attached network devices. Expanded support for soft modems and HomePNA adapters. Notification when a network has limited or no connectivity. TAPI 3.1 exposes COM ...
