NDIS

Post by mahmoudaladawi »

NDIS is short for the "Network Driver Interface Specification":
-Is it like VESA VBE for graphics card but for NIC and not in BIOS?
-Can we use it for developing network drivers for our OS ??

Uniform Driver Interface (UDI):
-How to start with it ?

Thanks

Your question is ambiguous. It's like VBE in the sense that it's an interface but it's nothing like it...

Sure, it's an open specification. But don't think that implementing NDIS will be easy.

By reading the specifications. There has been some interest in UDI as of late but Combuster and I are the only ones actively involved with its development unfortunately... We do appreciate all the feedback we've been getting on IRC though.
