Installing NDIS-WDM Miniport Drivers (NDIS 5.1)
Note NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.
When implementing the installation mechanism for an NDIS-WDM miniport driver, the following items should be observed:
Create an information (INF) file for a Net class of network component as described in Creating Network INF Files.
Include Plug and Play identifiers (ID) of devices as is typically done for any Net class of network component; however, make these IDs specific to the bus type to which the devices are attached.
