NDIS + Visual Studio 6 (C++ environment) - raw ethernet packet send/receive

Hello people,

I'm about to program an application that uses raw ethernet packets to
transmit and receive information.
I want to use the NDIS driver therefore. I already got WinDDK, and took
a look at the c-example (ndisprot).
But my question is, how can I implement this in a Visual Studio 6
environment???

Temporary I used Winpcap to send and receive my packets. Even though
it's buggy it works, but it's not as professional as with a protocol
driver, that has to be installed, and can be activated or deactivated.

Could anyone please give a good advise on how to realize this as well
as possible??

My best regards!

Cheers!

You dont have to use VC 6, you can use the ddk build environment, which
is what ndisprot is set up to use anyway (it will have a sources file
that controls the build)

You must have a protocol driver like NDISPROT (built by the DDK) and the
user mode code which calls it (maybe built using VC6).
