All,

Can I build NDIS 5.0 driver using Win 2K DDK targeted to work on Windows 98.
I think such driver should also work (binary compatible) on Windows 2000
(and XP). Is it true? Any idea how I can build a NDIS driver which is binary
compatible across platform (9x, Me, 2000 and XP)?

Thanks,
-Ajay

You should change some functions that 98/me not support.
and some compatible points that refered in DDK.
use binary compatible compile switch.

and 98/me just support NDIS50,
use NdisMRegisterDevice() for IOCTL handle.

Please use another newsgroup for NDIS questions: microsoft.public.development.device.drivers

This one is no longer active.

To your question - the best choice IMHO is to have two drivers - one for win98 SE and ME (NDIS 5.0), and one for win2000 and XP
(NDIS 5.1).
Building one binary for NT and win9x platforms in theory may be possible, but practically not justified.
