    - About using IoCompleteRequest and iostatus block's Status Field. Respected sir, I want to know as to, when I use the IoCompleteRequest Function in the DispatchPnp Routine/Function, and that, when I also set the IoStatus block's Status Field to STATUS_ PENDING (pending because I want to make use of pending irp in the driver's system thread to process pnp irp_mn_xxx minor codes), my driver don't seem to work ? I want to set the IRP Pending Status in the Status Field of IoStatus Block, in order to make further use of the IRP, which I already been marked as STATUS_PENDING, in my driver's System Thread to further process IRP_MJ_XXX AND ITS MINOR CODES like irp_mn_start_xxx etc. At the same time, I may also like to know as to, how can I allocate IRP, when my driver is running the system thread ? Which Function should I use (minor pnp codes like irp_mn_xxx ) to pass down the io_resource_requirements_list to make sure that pnp manager and OS must know the resources available thereof. How can I set the IRP in pending state and also how can I make use of this PENDING IRP in the driver's system thread in order to process IRP_MJ_XXX AND IRP_MN_XXX both, major and minor codes respectively ? How can I make sure that, the default resource descriptors, which are already been setted up by the driver will not overwritten i.e. to protect already stored default resource information and at the same time to store additional resource descriptors to IO_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST, so that, PNP MANAGER AND OS will know about the additional resource info., that I provided with. As it is also crucially needed in my case. regards, sudhanshu Tag: Is it 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g? Tag: 62158

    - Memory Mapped Files Reading and Cache Problem Hello Gurus I am writing a File System filter driver having Encrypt/Decrypt. I am using filemon as an example code. In order to solve the memory mapped file issue i have created a new structure of FCB. In that FCB i had specified the structure of FSRTL_COMMON_FCB_HEADER , SECTION_OBJECT_POINTERS and ERESOURCE for MainResource and PagingResource. After creating this I initialize the FSRTL_COMMON_FCB_HEADER to my fileobject->FsContext and fileobject->SectionObjectPointer to my new SectionObjectPointer. My new SectionObjectPOinter has all the 2 members namely the Data,Image set to NULL. I also initialize the MainResource and PagingResource using ExInitializeResourceLite. I do this in my IRP_MJ_CREATE and when i recv a IRP_MJ_CLEANUP i traverse my list for my SectionObjectPOinter and then delete the corresponding FSRTL_COMMON_FCB_HEADER that i had allocated. Actually i keep both the sectionobjectpointer and COmmonFCBHeader in a Link list from which i traverse and delete it. I actually got this by referring some of the posts in this forum. But i know i am missing something because it does not work yet. If i create a rich text document and then edit it and type in some new contents and then open it again i get the garbled text i mean the encyrpted text. the same thing happens for bmp files as well. When i click it again i get the IRP_MJ_READ with CACHE set.Hence my ReadWrite Handler does not decyrpt it as its from the Cache. But still it displays as Encrypted. Any Hints on where i can be going wrong is greatly appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards Shal. Tag: Is it 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g? Tag: 62157

    - Errors with USB Bulk requests When our USB function driver is used in a loop or for a long transfer of data (MBs) on a Bulk endpoint, after a short period of time the I/O status (IRP) returns a failure but the URB status is successful. This is after hundreds of successful requests. The IRP errors have been STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR or STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT. The URB status is USBD_STATUS_SUCCESS in either case. In what conditions would the Windows USB stack return these errors and the URB be successful? Second question, when testing for IRP error codes from a IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB request, which I/O status should be tested? IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioStatus = { 0, 0 }; PIRP irp = IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest(...., &ioStatus); // Boilerplate code... ntStatus = IoCallDriver(pdx->lowerDeviceObject, irp); if (ntStatus == STATUS_PENDING) // Wait on event At this point is io.Status.Status == irp->IoStatus.Status ???? If not, which is the proper method?? Thanks, SteveB, MCSD Welch Allyn, Inc. Tag: Is it 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g? Tag: 62147

    - Error : INVALID_PIPE_HANDLE on Interrupt pipe 0x81 (USB) Hi, I had developed a minidriver in DDK for a USB keyboard controller which supported polling for interrupt pipe on 0x81 and a vendor request - write operations. It was working fine. The development was done on Cypress FX2 kit. Now I'm trying to use the same driver for USBN9603. But here am facing a prob. The enumeartion part is correct. Am able to do many transactions, like reading device desc, config desc, resetting the pipe etc, on the control endpoint. However if am starting any transaction on the pipe 0x81(Interrupt), the IRP is returning with the following error, ALWAYS : IRP error code : 0xc0000008 URB error : 0x80000300 The pipe handle is got from the 0x81 pipe's USBD_PIPE_INFORMATION structure only, while parsing the configuration descriptor. What could be wrong? I would appreciate any help on this matter. One more point is, the same driver has been working properly for another board based on Cypress FX2 board. Expecting help...

    - HID minidriver crash on reading endp Hi List, I developing a HID minidriver for a non-HID USB device. My problems beguns with "IOCTL_HID_READ_REPORT" HID request ! First, I get infinite loop that consume 99% cpu due to "ping-pong" IRPs, so in DriverEntry I set HID_MINIDRIVER_REGISTRATION.DevicesArePolled to TRUE ! The I add calls to read device's interrupt endpoint data, but now driver crash :o( Sometime I able to get an USB status error code : 0x80000600 (invalid pipe handle). This handle is the one I get after a call to USBD_CreateConfigurationRequestEx() + IoCallDriver() The problem is that source code is the same as samples I get from differents sources.

Questions are: - is it possible to have two NDIS miniports running for one card in one time (one which drives card, sends packets and so on = manages normal traffic ... and second one which is responsible for running my own NIC's commands sequence and nothing else)? - I suppose that driver responsible for normal traffic should be "suspended" during working time of the second one.

    - Monochrome printing:how to make GDI do halftoning Hi, I'm working with monolithic print driver for monochrome printer. I would just soon have the GDI do the dither/halftoning for me, but I'm confused by the DDK documentation. I have gotten it to work by hooking in DrvStretchBlt and simpling passing it on to EngStretchBlt with a forced halftone parameter, but DrvStretchBlt is apparently not always called by some applications. Most of the time, my color graphics come out all black. I'm not sure how to set up GDIINFO and DEVINFO correctly to get the the GDI to halftone. Are there other functions I need to hook into?

I disable microsoft WZC service (by doing "net stop wzcsvc") before my software does any kind of Wifi related stuff. 2. hNdis = CreateFile("\\\\.\\\\Ndisuio", ...); //SUCCESS 3.

But if that was the case, why "IOCTL_NDISUIO_OPEN_DEVICE" was successful? I did try disabling WZC for my adapter though (without doing "net stop wzcsvc"). Then it gives error 170 ("The requested resource is in use") for "IOCTL_NDISUIO_OPEN_DEVICE" though it doesn't give any error while disabling WZC for my adapter.

    - VFW development hello, So I did some research and figured out that one way to share my screen trough flash is with a vfw driver. Before I think about buying one I want to try develop one of my own. The situation is that I have a web based application for e-learning designed in Flash. I want to be able to send a clients desktop screen to the application. No screenshots but stream. So, the source must be available in the camera properties of flash. (right click flash movie, properties, camera tab, dropdown menu). I also saw that there is a possibility to do this with a mirror driver. I installed the VNC mirror driver but it don't appear in the flash properties. Since I have no experience in writing a vfw driver I wonder if someone could point me into some direction I should start looking or even give me some advise about how to do it.

    - Question on EXPORT_DRIVER Hello All, I have a question on EXPORT_DRIVER. I have read the related articles and the questions raised on the same and the answers also for the same. But, I could not get the answer to my question anywhere. Please correct me if I have missed out any posting and give me pointers for the same. There is a mention in the DDK and in the related articles/postings that a driver compiled as an EXPORT_DRIVER can be used as a normal driver also. Also, there is a mention that the DriverEntry of this EXPORT_DRIVER is never called and the DllInitialize is called instead. Does this mean that, if I convert my driver to an EXPORT_DRIVER, I have to move contents of DriverEntry into DllInitialize? Or is the DllInitialize called only when the driver is used as EXPORT_ONLY driver? Please clarify this point and help me in using my driver as an EXPORT_DRIVER and DRIVER (Normal driver for Hardware). Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Raj Tag: Is it 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g?

What happens here??? The following is my code. In this FltFilterReceive, I modified to only filt ARP packet, and I sure it work well. I test the driver in the ethernet connection with router modem ADSL, the ARP packet of that modem, always add 18 byte as data of ARP packet.

    - How to get the exit status of a system thread A system thread created with PsCreateSystemThread can be terminated by the thread calling PsTerminateSystemThread that takes a parameter ExitStatus. The DDK documentation says that the ExitStatus specifies the status of the terminating thread to the thread creator, it is undocumented how to get the exit status but this can be done using the function ZwQueryInformationThread. It is common to save a pointer to the thread object using ObReferenceObject ByHandle and later wait for termination using KeWaitForSingleObject. Since ZwQueryInformationThread wants a handle one would in this case use ObOpen ObjectByPointer to get a handle from the pointer when its time to query the exit status however it is also possible to save a handle to the thread and wait on it using ZwWaitForSingleObject where after the handle can be used with ZwQueryInformationThread, both these methods is demonstrated below. If a thread returns from its main function without calling PsTerminateSystemThread it will mean an implicit exit status of 0. The function ZwQueryInformationThread is only exported to drivers on Windows XP and later so on older versions of Windows must it be called by its system service number, see below on how to do this. Below is a simple driver to demonstrate getting the exit status of a system thread, the debug prints looks like the following: ThreadTest: DriverEntry ThreadTest: threadFunc called with argument 0x1234 and terminating with exit status 0x1235 ThreadTest: waiting for thread handle = 0xb5c and got exit status = 0x1235 ThreadTest: threadFunc called with argument 0x5678 and terminating with exit status 0x5679 ThreadTest: waiting for thread pointer = 0x81b0eda8 and got exit status = 0x5679 ThreadTest: DriverEntry done */ /* * Driver to demonstrate getting the exit status of a system thread. */ #include <ntddk.h> #include <ntverp.h> /* * ObOpenObjectByPointer creates a handle to an object that one has a * pointer to.

    - Problem with flat structure Hi, my current project consists of a win32 application and an NDIS IM driver. The user mode application allocates a buffer, passes this buffer to the driver (DeviceIoControl) and receives the buffer again - this time filled with data of a specific format: typedef struct _FLATSTRUCT { int a; int b;//contains the length of the buffer [...] BYTE *buffer; }FLATSTRUCT,*PFLATSTRUCT; So the buffer looks like this: a,b,[...],data the pointer (buffer) originally pointed to,a,b,...... The 4 bytes of *buffer are not copied to the buffer: the whole size copied is sizeof(FLATSTRUCT) - 4 + length_of_data_in_buffer. Now, the user mode application has to unpack the whole lot like this: DWORD sec = 0;//contains the real number of values #define MAINBUFFERSIZE 100000 //size of whole buffer transfered UINT offset = 0;//current offset in the buffer BYTE *pBuffer = new BYTE[MAINBUFFERSIZE];//user mode buffer FLATSTRUCT *mystr = NULL; if(DeviceIoControl(hdriver,IOCTL_TRANSFER,pBuffer,MAINBUFFERSIZE,pBuffer,MAINBUFFERSIZE,&sec,0)) { while(offset < sec) { mystr = (PFLATSTRUCT)&pBuffer[offset]; offset = offset + sizeof(FLATSTRUCT) - 4; mystr->buffer = (BYTE*)&pBuffer[offset]; [...]//do some stuff and adjust offset for next packet } } So, the problem is that when I dump mystr->buffer the whole buffer looks completely fine - except the first 4 bytes. These 4 Bytes contain the pointers address and not the original bytes that remain in pBuffer. I'd guess that I cast anything wrong - but I really can't figure out what...can anyone help?

    - SERENUM I have developed a USB device which intend to present as a com port on the PC. Now that I am working on the PC to figure out how to get the com port to show up when the device is plugged into the PC, I have been looking at serenum.sys and serial.sys. I'm trying to decide on the best approach. Should I use serenum as a filter over my current usb client driver and follow the external com protocol to have the port show up, hopefully serenum will do this for me, or should I have serial as my filter over my client, this seems like overkill. In short,i'm hoping that if I can get serenum to work, then my port will show up whenever my device is plugged in and my client driver is loaded and hence by reference serenum to enumerate my device.

    - Touchpad (mouse) driver with adjustable pointer speed (not acceleration)??? Synaptics laptop touchpad Windows 98SE I'll define two terms so we're talking about the same thing. Pointer speed is the multiplier that defines how far the mouse pointer moves per unit of movement of finger on the touchpad. This relationship is independent of how fast the finger moves. Acceleration is a dynamic parameter that defines a nonlinear relationship that depends on how fast the finger moves. Faster finger movement means that the mouse pointer moves farther per unit of finger movement. What I want is a touchpad driver that has adjustable pointer speed and ZERO aceleration. The Alps drivers do this, but are keyed to alps touchpads. Won't work on the Synaptics pad on my laptop. Logitech drivers do the pointer speed properly, but their scrolling and gesture functions suck. Synaptics drivers have no pointer speed adjustment. The label says pointer speed, but they only adjust the acceleration. All my other touchpads have zero acceleration and I just can't get used to that nonlinear motion. But their scrolling and gesture functions are very nice. I remember seeing mouse driver documentation that mentioned registry keys to control pointer speed. But I searched the registry and didn't find anything I recognized as such. Is there a secret mouse registry key that I can add to change the pointer speed on the synaptics drivers? Is there a more generic driver? FWIW, I searched high and low for LINUX touchpad drivers. They have pointer speed adjustments, but they do it by skipping pixels. IF you don't want acceleration, you can't even reach all the pixels with the mouse pointer. I'm also looking for a LINUX touchpad driver that has pointer speed adjustment that lets you access all the pixels WITHOUT ACCELERATION. This shouldn't be that hard... And yes, I've tried laptop vendor touchpad drivers without success. Thanks, mike -- Return address is VALID but some sites block emails with links. Delete this sig when replying. .

    - WHQL signed driver distibuted by multiple manufacturers My company is developing a Cardbus wireless LAN card. The card's NDIS miniport driver is passing most of the HCT and we are getting ready to submit it for WHQL certification. After we get the driver and INF file signed, we will be distributing it and the card to several "manufacturers" that will then sell the device to the public. Each of these manufacturers needs to see their compay name and model description when the device is displayed in Device Manager, for example. Once the driver is signed, the INF file can't be changed without invalidating the signature. I was wondering, however, if it might be possible to use a second .INF file to provide just this descriptive text in a way that wouldn't invalidate the driver signature.

Of course, the driver then muxes the audio data but I don't want that. I would like to pick the audio data coming from only one of the processes.

    - Desktop streaming Hello, I'm on a project that requires me to write a method to stream the desktop from a client to other users in a video conference app. It has to act as some sort of camera source because the app is build in Flash and so the only thing Flash recognizes are WDM drivers such as Webcams to grab. First I tried to develop a WDM screen capture driver. After a lot of research I figured out that that would be nearly impossible to do the trick (Refer to the reply of Eugene Sukhodolin on WDM screen capture driver). Now there are some apps like Camtasia and Screenjax that already do the trick but I don't want the clients to install a thirth party software form another vendor. None of these apps use a .sys driver. They all work with .dll files. They also work with a client app and that is something I don't want or not always want on top if the driver is capturing the screen. A possible sollution for this problem would be to develop my own app like Camtasia or Screenjax but then build it in a way that the settings are configured automaticly so the user do not have to do it in an app. They would only install it as a plugin for my app. My problem now is that I don't have a clue how to start writing a screen share app with .dll. If anyone could give me some advise on this? Regards Tom Tag: Is it 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g? Tag: 61996

    - .INF and .CAT file confusion We are trying to get our driver signed by Microsoft and having some successwith the HCT tests, but I am more than a little confused by the whole business of .inf files and .cat files. I have noticed that if I go to the Device Manager and uninstall my device, I can have problems later. If I subsequently unplug and then replug my device, I will get the Device Wizard again. Typically, the Device Wizard finds and uses the .inf file that the system has copied to the \windows\inf folder. This causes the system to put up a dialog asking for where it can find the abc.sys file that it is supposed to copy from the source media. Normally abc.sys can be found in the same folder as the .inf file. However, this does not work very well after the .inf file has been copied to the \windows\inf folder. This seems to be a basic problem with the way that .inf files are used. How do people get around this problem? How does the .cat file work? Logically, it seems that every file referenced by my device .inf file should be tied somehow to the .cat file. This means that my abc.sys file, and my coinstaller dll, and the data file that my coinstaller references should also be tied to the .cat file. Ideally, if the system decides to reuse a .inf file that resides in the \windows\inf folder, it should use the associated .cat file to find local copies of all the files referenced by the .inf file. Any info that you can give will be much appreciated. --Elliot Leonard Tag: Is it 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g? Tag: 61965

Ndis802_11OFDM24,
Ndis802_11NetworkTypeMax
} NDIS_802_11_NETWORK_TYPE, *PNDIS_802_11_NETWORK_TYPE;

Is this true:

802.11b = Ndis802_11FH or Ndis802_11DS
802.11a = Ndis802_11OFDM5
802.11g = Ndis802_11OFDM24

Thanks

From the MSDN:
Ndis802_11FH
Indicates the physical layer for the frequency-hopping spread-spectrum
radio.
Ndis802_11DS
Indicates the physical layer for the direct-sequence spread-spectrum
radio.
Ndis802_11OFDM5
Indicates the physical layer for 5-GHz OFDM radios.
Ndis802_11OFDM24
Indicates the physical layer for 2.4-GHz OFDM radios.
If the device supports 802.11g, then the driver must return Ndis802_11DS and
Ndis802_11OFDM24 in the list of supported types, in addition to any other
types supported.
