Yes you need the DDK for that, however, if you are new to driver development
(i am still a newbie myself) the chances of you succesfully devlopping a
stable NDIS driver in a reasonable timeframe are somewhat smallish.

what exactly is a FYP?
drivers for that thing do not yet exist? otherwise you might want to
consider hiring an expert to write the driver for you.

of course if it is a hobby project, you can use the DDK and learn things as
you go. In that case i advise you to by walter oney's book on driver
development, which is really great for learning WDM drivers.

kind regards,
Bruno.

The DDK costs $15 US for shipping in the US and less in most countries. Go
to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/orderddkcd.mspx and choose
"Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK"

Using anything other than the latest DDK is stupid. You will not get the
latest samples, tools and documentation.

You do not need the "DDK Suite", you just need the latest DDK, which is
available from Microsoft for the shipping and handling costs. The DDK
suite contains a lot of additional material that might be helpful but
that is not required for development.

you can also buy the DDK cd separatly from the suite. that will cost you
only 15$ + shipping.
