Hi,
I would like to understand which test cases need to be considered for HLK certification for my WDF-based network adapter card (network bridge).
When selecting the compatibility playlist for 22H2 ("HLK Version 22H2 CompatPlaylist x64 ARM64.xml"), it shows 68 test cases, including DF-PNP and NDIS cases.
For a WDF model network card, do I need to execute the NDIS test cases? If anyone has insights, please let me know.
If NDIS test cases are not required, can I manually edit the playlist to remove them?
Thanks!

Hello Arun Kr,
Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
NetAdapterCx integrates the productivity of WDF with the networking performance of NDIS, but it still relies on NDIS for certain functionalities.
Therefore, running NDIS test cases ensures that your driver meets the necessary standards and performs reliably within the Windows networking stack.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the following resources:
I hope the information above is helpful.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,

I would like to get know should I need to execute and make PASS all NDIS test-cases in HLK for to certify (Signing Driver) my WDF network card.
All DF-PNP related cases are PASSED in my HLK testing,is it enough to get a certified driver
Thank you for the information.
Meanwhile when I'm executing HLK tests for NDIS, some of test cases are not Passing especially WMI and IOCTL related.
they are failing to get required OIDs
Hi
Im Using "NetadaptorCx" miniport driver.
When I have executing NDIS 6.0 test cases for HLK certification, I'm getting below error!!!
As per the note (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/ff569082(v=vs.85) this command is Obsolete for NDIS 6.0 and later miniport drivers
How can i fix this issues in driver, should i skip the test cases
"NetadaptorCx" miniport driver need NDIS cases to pass for Certification ?
