Well, I've actually done this in 2 NDIS drivers. One method that works and is easy to implement is to have your NDIS driver load your auxillary driver (via ZwLoadDriver) and do a IoGetDeviceObjectPointer to get a pointer to it's device object. Then via a private IOCTL, your drivers can exchange function pointers.

Subject: [ntdev] Helping module for NDIS in the kernel ??

Hi friends

I want to write one module (lets call it a module now ) which should

    a) sit in the kernel.

    b) interact with an NDIS miniport driver, meaning import & export some functions with the NDIS

        Driver.

    c) handle requests from application programs for configuration settings.

    d) hold its data and

    e) exist as an independent entity aiding NDIS Driver.

I have written the NDIS Miniport driver but don't know how to implement the module !!

How should I implement this module ? Kernel - mode DLL or NDIS intermediate driver or any other ??

Please throw some light on this ...

regards
