Porting Miniport Driver Send and Receive Operations to CoNDIS 6.0
Data transfer code paths in NDIS 6.0 have changed as follows:
The NET_BUFFER_LIST structures and NET_BUFFER structures replace the NDIS_PACKET structure.
Drivers can send and receive multiple packets in a single call without previously determining the number of packets. This is possible because the packets are provided in a linked list of NET_BUFFER structures instead of an array of NDIS_PACKET structures.
The completion status of a send operation is indicated in the Status member of the NET_BUFFER structure. This completion status is not returned as a function return value or a parameter of the NdisMCoSendComplete function.
For more information about changes to send and receive paths, see NET_BUFFER Architecture.
