    - NDIS: ProtocolUnbindAdapter() gets called at IRQL DISPATCH_LEVEL on Vista I got a problem, where ProtocolUnbindAdapter() of my IM driver gets called at IRQL DISPATCH_LEVEL on Vista, consequently causing a bugcheck 0x7C with 0x14,0x02,0x00,0x00 parameters when calling NdisWaitEvent() to wait for NdisCloseAdapter() to complete asynchronously. I'd like to know, why this can happen (most likely it's my programming error, but still), if the documentation clearly states that ProtocolUnbindAdapter() is called at PASSIVE_LEVEL IRQL. Also, the Debugging Tools documentation must be updated probably, since it doesn't reflect 0x14 parameter in the 0x7C bugcheck documentation. Additionally, when I specifically enable "DbgPrint buffering" parameter in GFlags utility and reboot the system and it crashes with a full memory dump, WinDbg then displays nothing when issuing ! dbgprint command. The nt!kdprint* buffers are empty for some reason. Thanks. Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91378

    - KMDF inconsistent compiling: order of struct { } members differs I'm writing a KMDF-driver with an IoCtl-Interface. For each IOCTL-code I have defined a C-structure which describes the data passed between driver and the application. These structures interpret the data buffer "inBuf" and "outBuf" on both sides of DeviceIoControl(). So I have several "typedef struct { ... } " declarations. These are located in a separate header .h-file, which is included both in the driver sources and the application sources. So it is garanteed that driver and applications use the same buffer-structures. PROBLEM: I have found at least one struct {}, where the compiler changed the field order, when he compiles the driver. Example: typedef struct { DWORD result; DWORD long_value; char string_value[MAX_STRINGPARAMLEN]; } MyRecord ; When I compile the APPLICATION and declare a variable "mybuffer" MyRecord mybuffer ; then the fields have physically those offsets: mybuffer byte 0..3: member ".result" mybuffer byte 4..7: member ".long_value" mybuffer byte 8..11: member ".string_value" = pointer to character-array = address of mybuffer byte 12 mybuffer byte 12 ... space for string This is as it should be: struct fields are allocate in the order they were defined. BUT when I compile the DRIVER, then there are those offsets: MyRecord mybuffer ; mybuffer byte 0..3: member ".result" mybuffer byte 4..7: member ".string_value" = pointer to character-array = address of mybuffer byte 12 mybuffer byte 8..11: member ".long_value" mybuffer byte 12 ... space for string So the order of members is NOT like defined, the members ".long_value" and ".string_value" were exchanged! The consequences are of course catastrophic, since the driver interprets the integer "long_value" as pointer to the character array "string_value" => end of live as we know it. Thanks for reading so far, I hope the problem is clear now. I searched a lot, but found no #pragma settings which could influence the ordering of struct-members. Only struct-aligning can be modified, but this is not my problem. Some more facts: - I use WinDDK 6000 - driver and application are compiled within the same run of the BUILD-utility - its a checked build for x86 and WinXP platform. - build environment is also an x86 machine with WinXP.

    - USB HID Lower Filter Driver issue under VISTA Hi, I have a problem under MS VISTA with a USB HID filter driver (I developped) attached as low filter on the USB common class generic parent driver (usbccgp.sys) for a USB keyboard device with extra keys. The goal of my filter driver is to change the behaviour or inibit some extra keys of the keyboard. The principle of the filter is the following: it change the HID codes output for the requested keys using a remapping table set in the registry (bytes of code to replace/ bytes of replacing code) and comparing incoming codes and replacing if codes are matching the ones for the keys. Inside the filter driver, the codes are catched thru IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL IRP, then IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB control code, then URB_FUNCTION_BULK_OR_INTERRUPT_TRANSFER function. This filter driver works fine under Windows XP all version. But, now, under vista the filter is installing and running (i can see this thru debug outputs), but it doesn't filter anything: it doesn't catch anymore the function URB_FUNCTION_BULK_OR_INTERRUPT_TRANSFER even if i can see this URB with a sniffer (WDMSniffer). I am not a specialist in driver development and i don't understand what could have changed under Windows Vista comparing to Windows XP ? Does somebody has an idea? Thanks Christian Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91372

    - How to remove default Layer 2 multicast addresses in miniport driv Hello, Upon examining the netvmini sample using OID scope, I found that there are default layer 2 multicast addresses, usually: 01:00:5e:00:00:01 01:00:5e:7f:ff:fa 01:80:c2:00:00:03 After further research, I found that the first two are used for IP multicasting, while the third is used for IEEE 802.1x port authentication. How can I remove these default addresses from the miniport multicast address list? Is it even advisable to do this? Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91363

    - NDIS 6 RSS: mapping between CPU number, MSI message, and queue I am working on an Ethernet miniport driver, and am confused about RSS. Suppose the NIC has 16 MSI-X messages and it supports 16 receive queues. According to the NDIS spec, the NIC should compute the target "CPU" as follows. Target CPU = indirection_table[hash & (table_size - 1)] & (# of receive queues - 1) + base cpu number. Computing this target CPU number is straightforward. But, how should the NIC map this number onto a specific receive queue and also the MSI message to generate an interrupt? The indrection table entries as well as the base CPU number may change over time according to the RSS spec. How does NDIS know that the NIC is interrupting the expected CPU?

    - comparing all HW drivers on 2 servers Does anyone know of an easy way to compare the device drivers on 2 systems? I've got several supermicro 6014ptr boxes. one will occasionally freeze up - no network, no video, no kybd, etc. A couple others have frozen up similarly once or twice over the course of a year. I get no msgs in the system logs, the memory tests good (memtest86 for 16+ hrs) so I suspect device drivers. I've considered using MS System Information (winmsd), exporting to a file, then comparing, but I'd like to know if anyone has a better method to recommend. thanks!

    - Stream Class Custom Video Format Problem Greetings, I am trying to create a custom video format for a USB camera driver based on the Stream Class. I currently have support for RGB24 and RGB8 which works fine for just looking at the video stream. However, I need to support some extended information that I believe is best done via a custom format (namely 16 bit monochrome images and some extended timing information). This custom format is consumed by a specific usermode DSHow filter I am also writing. Everything starts off well: the format is negotiated and UM sink filter gets the expected format information. The pins connect and the stream opens (i.e. my camera gets a SRB_OPEN_STREAM and completes successfully). When I transition into run however, I never get any SRB_READ_DATA calls. I can easily still use the RGB24 and RGB8 formats so I know that the support code around the different formats is working. But there is something about this new format that I am missing. I suspect that I was relying on some KS behavior that is no longer present now that I have left the cozy KSDATAFORMAT_SPECIFIER_VIDEOINFO world. To implement my new format, I created two new GUIDs: MEDIASUBTYPE_MYCAM_RAW and KSDATAFORMAT_SPECIFIER_MYCAM_RAW_INFO There is an info structure to hold the format information: typedef struct tagMYCAM_RAW_INFO { // whatever... }MYCAM_RAW_INFO; And a data range and format: typedef struct tagKS_DATARANGE_MYCAM_RAW { KSDATARANGE dataRange; // I include nothing here because there is no "range" to speak of. The camera // only supports whatever its current settings are. } KS_DATARANGE_MYCAM_RAW; typedef struct tagKS_DATAFORMAT_MYCAM_RAW { KSDATAFORMAT dataFormat; MYCAM_RAW_INFO formatInfo; } KS_DATAFORMAT_MYCAM_RAW; The data range is static KS_DATARANGE_MYCAM_RAW StreamDataRange = { // KSDATARANGE dataRange; { sizeof (KS_DATARANGE_MYCAM_RAW), // ULONG FormatSize; 0, // ULONG Flags; [doc: ignored] 0, // ULONG SampleSize; [doc: ignored] 0, // ULONG Reserved; [doc: must be 0] STATICGUIDOF(KSDATAFORMAT_TYPE_VIDEO), // GUID MajorFormat; MEDIATYPE_Video STATICGUIDOF(MEDIASUBTYPE_MYCAM_RAW), STATICGUIDOF(KSDATAFORMAT_SPECIFIER_MYCAM_RAW_INFO) } }; It is possibly that my use of KSDATAFORMAT_TYPE_VIDEO (which I though was required for capture pins) is triggering some assumptions somwhere? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Best regards, Tom Udale Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91324

    - WaveRT/WaveCyclic miniport usage and Vista certification We developed a virtual sound card driver and want it certified by Microsoft. The purpose of the driver is to capture audio stream and then service that we wrote sends it over the local network to networked speakers for playback. So the driver itself doesn't work with any hardware. Our current implementation (we support Windows 2000 and Windows XP 32 bit at this time) uses WaveCyclic miniport. We just started work on supporting Vista and got our driver working under Vista with some minor changes. We are still using WaveCyclic miniport. However, this document http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/c/5/9c5b2167-8017-4bae-9fde-d599bac8184a/DrvCompat_Vista.doc says: ========================== The following list summarizes some key requirements for audio drivers: · Implement Universal Audio Architecture (UAA)-compliant audio devices. · Implement audio drivers _as WaveRT_ miniport drivers. · Implement up-to-date digital rights management (DRM) support. ========================== Does it mean that if our Vista implementation uses WaveCyclic miniport we will not be able to get it certified? Also: who should I address this question to in Microsoft to receive authoritative answer? I emailed to whqldt@microsoft.com but so far haven't received even an acknowledgement that my email has been received. Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91322

    - UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices fails - Please HELP Hi, I want to install a driver for non-PnP printer. For this I create and register a devnode for my device. Then I try to call UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices to update the drivers for the PnP devices. I expected to see my printer added but the UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices failed instead. The driver was installed but the printer was not on the "Printer and Faxes" page. If I add manually "PortName" and its value under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\Printer\0000\Device Parameters" and then call UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices I have the printer installed. The problem is that the "Device Parameters" key appears after calling UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices. I cannot create the "Device Parameters" key manually because I am not allowed to. There should be a way to add the PortName parameter somewhere/somehow so that the printer installation to succeed. Are there another settings that I should add in order to get the printer installed correctly? Thanks a lot Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91284

    - Intel ICH8 chipset doesn't response a DMA ack....(Vista) Folks: I was porting my FIR driver to Vista. My FIR driver work fine on my SIS EV board (both XP and Vista). My Custom used INTEL ICH8 chipset (for mobile). XP worked fine but Vista didn't work. During FIR negotiation, each computer will send/receive 2 bytes data (command and address) and 4 bytes FCS check code. Normally, FIR will send/receive a 6 bytes data (2 bytes data and 4 bytes command). I used LA to monitor DMA cycle and found out Vista didn't response the 5th time DMA ack. The FIR negotiation failed. Then repeated the error. Anyone knew how to monitor DMA operation ? I mean once I start DMA transfer. DMA should move data automatically. How did I know which steps DMA operation was wrong ? There is a strange situation: I installed XP and Vista in the same HD. There is two OS I could choose during booting. If I entered XP then reboot, changed to Vista (without unplug power). My FIR worked fine. If I removed my power core then plug, booting in Vista. The FIR driver failed to connect. Anyone can give me an advice ?

    - HID mouse, digitizer device/driver Hi to kernel gurus! I have custom HW (non HID) connected to PC via USB + software system which calculates Tablet PC- like stylus position. The goal is to provide valid mouse and digitizer input form kernel mode. As far as I understand I have to provide valid HID reports to OS. I have to create HID minidriver which does not have any real HW behind , but receives coordinates form NT service. 1) Is HID minidriver an appropriate solution ? 2) In case I would like to provide mouse input will I be able to communicate with my driver form my software ? I understand that OS exclusively locks mouse driver stack. 3) Should I implement separate driver for mouse and digitizer? 4) Can anybody give a reference to the useful driver sample? 5) What is the best way to communicate between my HID driver and my software? (HID reports, CreateFile() , Pipes, Section) Thank you in advance, David. Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91269

    - SetupUninstallOEMInf() FAILS on Vista x86 We have a custom installation utility for a USB device that performs the following actions on Vista x86 : 1/ Installs the .INF and driver using SetupCopyOEMInf(). 2/ Removes the device using SetupDiSetClassInstallParams(DIF_REMOVE) 3/ Removes the corresponsing oem??.inf and oem??.pnf for the device Questions : 1/ We want the installation utility to remove the files in the DriverStore\FileRepository directory as well so we are using SetupUninstallOEMInf(SUOI_FORCEDELETE). This call fails with error code 0x57 (The parameter is incorrect. ) How can we fix this ? 2/ Inspite of the fact that the files in DriverStore\FileRepository are not being deleted, when Vista reenumerates the device, it does not find the .INF file for installing the driver. The driver is not signed. Doesn't the OS look for drivers in DriverStore\FileRepository ? Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91268

    - Help! Print Processor Clipping Path Help! I am writing a generic print processor to draw text to the bottom of every print job, like a watermark. On some drivers, the clipping path is set to enclose the original document text, and exclude the rest of the pate. For example, if I draw text in the print processor in the center of the page, but there is only one line of text in at the top of the page of the original document, the text drawn in the print processor will be clipped. I have tried to expand the clipping path, trying almost every clipping function, including removing it altogether. However, I can not change the bottom dimension of the clipping rectangle, no matter what I do. I can change every other dimension of the rectangle, though. Is there something I can do to change the clipping path in a print processor? Modifying the driver is really not a good option, and this is supposed to work for any driver.

    - DIFx Issue for Composite USB Devices We have a composite USB device. It has 2 interfaces each belonging to a different setup class and is driven by a single driver. Following are some details about the devices. INTERFACE #1 : HardwareId=USB\VID_vvvv&PID_pppp&MI_00 SetupClass=Modem .INF File=x.inf FunctionDriver=modem.sys (inbox) LowerFilterDriver=mydriver.sys (installed by .INF file) AddService Line in .INF as as follows : AddService= mydriver, 0x00000000, Device.AddService [Device.AddService] DisplayName=%SERVICENAME% ServiceType= 1 StartType = 3 ErrorControl = 0 ServiceBinary = %12%\mydriver.sys INTERFACE #2 : HardwareId=USB\VID_vvvv&PID_pppp&MI_01 SetupClass=Port .INF File=y.inf FunctionDriver=mydriver.sys (installed by .INF file) AddService Line in .INF as as follows : AddService=mydriver, 0x00000002, Device.AddService [Device.AddService] DisplayName=%SERVICENAME% ServiceType= 1 StartType = 3 ErrorControl = 0 ServiceBinary = %12%\mydriver.sys PROBLEM: We are using DifXCmd.exe sample from the WDK to install and remove the drivers and the device itself and we are having the following issue. Installation for both these interfaces devices go through fine. However when we attempt to remove the devices DIFxCmd always fails for the interface #1. We have tried quite a few things but nothing seems to work. >From the setupdi.dev.log the failure seems to be in a function in setupdi.dll SetupDiGetSelectedDriver() which fails with the error code ERROR_NO_DRIVER_SELECTED for INTERFACE (E0000203) #1. Is this a bug in PnP Manager or DifX APIs that manifests itself when uninstalling drivers for composite USB devices? Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91261

    - Anyone run DTM on a digital tuner yet? I have a USB digital TV tuner device and BDA driver - HCT-tested (on XP) without problem. I have applied the following dimensions to the machine pool: Ehome\HasTvTuner, Wdk\ConfigureBroadcastReceiverStreaming, Wdk\ConfigureVideoCaptureStreamingMedia. I go to the Device Console, select View By Machine, and then select my device in the Available Devices tree. The Available Jobs pane then shows me the Driver Reliability and Generic categories, but no TV Tuner category. If I View By Driver then the TV Tuner category shows when I select the "MEDIA Driver (Service Name <name>)" level, but again when I select the actual device (one level down), the TV Tuner tests disappear. Anyone mananged to get these tests run on a digital tuner? (Some are certainly analogue only, in fact, but many - according to DTM's own help file - do apply to digital too) Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91255

NdisMallocateNetBufferSGList consistently fails and the ftp connection ends up getting aborted. Questions: 1. How do I analyze the failures from NdisMallocateNetBufferSGList ().. The error return is NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES. This does not change irrespective of whether I provide buffer to store the SGLIST or not.. 2. How do I find whether there are any real memory issues? 3. What reasons can the above call fail? Is it lack of kernel memory? Is it due to lack of non-paged pool memory?

    - NdisMIndicateReceivePacket for large packets Hi all, Is it legal for an NDIS miniport to indicate up packets larger than what it specified as the maximum via various OIDs (such as OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_FRAME_SIZE, OID_GEN_TRANSMIT_BLOCK_SIZE, OID_GEN_RECEIVE_BLOCK_SIZE, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_SIZE)? In other words, if the default configuration of the device is to have a maximum packet size of 1514 bytes (to prevent issues arising with applications sending jumbo frames on a non-capable network) but the hardware is always capable of receiving larger packets if they happen to be on the wire, should these be filtered out by software because they happen to be larger the the maximum size returned via the above OIDs? The driver in question is a deserialized miniport with NDIS_MAC_OPTION_TRANSFERS_NOT_PEND set, so we always indicate full packets up to the stack. I've tested indicating up larger packets than we tell NDIS we support, and everything seemed to still handle them fine (tested via TDI and Winsock), but I am concerned that some intermediate driver could possibly get confused if it gets packets larger than what it thought we would indicate up. In essence, is there a proper way to indicate to NDIS that we do not want to support transmitting packets larger than the default frame size of 1514-bytes but yet still indicate up packets larger than this on the receive side? Thanks, EricG Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91240

    - USB IRP sometimes hangs with hyper-threading enabled Hi, I'm trying to track down an intermittent hang in my application/driver. Using the kernel debugger I've narrowed it down to an IRP being sent down the driver stack and getting stuck. Admittedly I've only seen it on one machine so far.

    - A corker on x64 checked builds only For some bizarre reason, the build process for x64 on Winddk 5600, using the server 2003 x64 checked build environment (and only that one) blows away anything named tmp, including folders. x64 free, x32 checked and free don't do this. In any case, we use Subversion for our version control - which puts tmp folders in a hidden .svn folder under {driver base folder}\objfre_wnet_amd64 So the folder structure is {driver base folder}\objfre_wnet_amd64 .svn\ prop-base\ props\ text-base\ wcprops\ tmp\ prop-base\ props\ text-base\ wcprops\ Simply doing a "build -ceZ" will recursively blow away all the tmp folders it finds under objfre_wnet_amd64, whether it owns them or not. Is there a way to get this to stop doing this? It's totally screwing up my version control system. G Tag: VISTA Install Windows Drivers (Hardware-First Scenarios) Tag: 91227

I need to install drivers on VISTA and XP. I will provide a CD containing the
drivers.
As documented in the SDK and the WHDC site, I have added in my autorun.inf a
new directive supported by VISTA, "hardwareid".
This is my autorun.inf:

[AutoRun]
open=setup.exe

[DeviceInstall]
hardwareid= VID_413C&PID_5128, VID_413C&PID_5128&MI_00,
VID_413C&PID_5128&MI_01, VID_413C&PID_5128&MI_02, VID_413C&PID_5128&MI_03,
VID_413C&PID_5128&MI_04

DriverPath=\Drivers

With VISTA, I am expecting the the "Found New Hardware Wizard" is stopped
when I insert the CD containig the drivers, and launch my setup.exe that will
preinstall the drivers (using the DIFx DPINST.exe) then give back the hand to
the "Found New Hardware Wizard".

But this is not the case. What is wrong with my autorun.inf.
