How to Test an NDIS Miniport Driver (Windows CE 5.0)
This procedure illustrates how to test an NDIS miniport driver for Windows CE-based devices. You will use the set of tests available in the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Test Kit (CETK) to test your driver.
After running these tests, the miniport driver for the NIC will qualify as a production quality driver.
Hardware and Software Assumptions
You are using the CETK to test your miniport driver. For more information about the CETK, see Windows CE Test Kit.
You are testing the driver for the following NICs:
- Wired LAN NIC. The NIC must be designated as NdisMedium802_3, NdisMedium802_5, and NdisMediumFddi. The supported NICs can be retrieved by using OID_GEN_MEDIA_SUPPORTED.
- Wireless LAN NIC (802.11)
- RNDIS function driver
- NDIS intermediate driver
Note This procedure does not apply to Bluetooth, IrDA, or Wireless WAN devices (CDMA/GPRS). Also, ATMs, Modems/Cable modems, or DSL devices cannot be tested using this procedure.
