After you have ported your NDIS 5.x miniport driver to NDIS 6.0, you can test and debug your miniport driver. For more information about Windows Embedded Compact device driver debugging and testing, see Build and Test Your Device Driver.

For performance and network testing of your NDIS miniport driver, you can use the NDIS and Winsock driver tests available in the Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit (CTK). After you successfully run these tests, you can qualify your NDIS miniport driver as a production quality driver. To test your ported NDIS 6.0 miniport driver, read and follow the instructions found in the topics listed in the following table:

Step

Topic(s)

1. Familiarize yourself with the CTK.

You can use the preceding steps to test the following types of NDIS miniport drivers:

  1. Wired LAN network adapter drivers
  2. Wireless LAN (IEEE 801.11) network adapter drivers
  3. RNDIS (Remote NDIS) function drivers
  4. NDIS intermediate drivers

You cannot use the preceding steps to test miniport drivers for the following types of communications devices:

  1. Bluetooth devices
  2. IrDA (Infrared Data Association) and FIR (Fast IrDA) devices
  3. ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), modem, and cable modem devices
  4. Wireless WAN CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) devices
