- How to capture the device response in NDIS miniport driver while using USB NIC?
- Posted by Bell Kwong on May 11th, 2005
Hi,
I'm writing a wireless lan miniport driver for Intersil PRISM2 hfa3842.
Since the NIC is a USB device, I have no clear concept on how to capture the
internal events generated by the chip, though I've read tons of materials.
In NDIS-WDM architecture with USB, no interrupt, no register, and even no
document...
Could anybody show me a way leading to the dawn?
Thanks in advance!

As general USB client drivers, a NDIS_WDM driver use endpoints of different
pipes to communitcate with the HC.
Take a look at the NDIS-wdm sample at
WINDDK\3790.build#\src\network\ndis\ndiswdm, it's not a USB lower edge
sample but should get you started.

Yes, there is no registers and interrupt. All communication
with the device is based on exchange of messages -
so you need to design some protocol.
Reading the USB guidelines on microsoft.com/whdc is absolutely
nesessary - no matter how much tons of stuff you read, don't miss
what is really important.
Good luck
