Implementing an NDIS 6.1 Driver
An NDIS 6.1 driver must report the correct NDIS version when it registers with NDIS:
You must update the major and minor NDIS version number in the NDIS_Xxx_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS structure to support NDIS 6.1. The MajorNdisVersion member must contain 0x06 and the MinorNdisVersion member must contain 0x01. This requirement applies to miniport, protocol, and filter drivers.
Miniport drivers must set the Header member of NDIS_MINIPORT_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS: Set Revision to NDIS_MINIPORT_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2 and Size to NDIS_SIZEOF_MINIPORT_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2.
Filter drivers must set the Header member of NDIS_FILTER_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS: Set Revision to NDIS_FILTER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2 and Size to NDIS_SIZEOF_FILTER_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2.
Protocol drivers must set the Header member of NDIS_PROTOCOL_DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS: Set Revision to NDIS_PROTOCOL_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2 and Size to NDIS_SIZEOF_PROTOCOL _DRIVER_CHARACTERISTICS_REVISION_2.
