    - Necessary to pend IRP_MN_QUERY_CAPABILITIES? IRP_MN_QUERY_CAPABILITIES is documented as being sent in an "arbitrary thread context", and I thought the rule was never to block in an arbitrary thread context, but the DDK toaster bus sample looks like it does a KeWaitForSingleObject in its handler for the IRP. Did I misunderstand the rule? Tag: inf file? Tag: 88462

    - PCI set resources - not same device0 Hello folks - I am having trouble re-installing my device driver for a PCI Express (PCIe) device. Everything works fine the first time the driver loads and the device gets started. I then Uninstall the driver (through Device Manager), and the Remove Device PnP event seems to be processed fine as well. It is on the subsequent Start Device PnP event that I seem to have trouble. When my driver calls IoCallDriver() to pass IRP_MN_START_DEVICE down to the bus driver, I see the returned status be: 0xC00000C0 (STATUS_DEVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST). When I run this with the Server 2003 checked build, I see busdrv\pci\enum.c (line 4114) print: "Assertion Failed: PCI set resources - not same device0". Can anyone give me some more details on this error? Any idea of how I can get some more information from the bus driver as to why the device is not the same? Any help is appreciated, thanks. mike Tag: inf file? Tag: 88461

    - Driver installation best practices Does DIFxApp allow creating one msi file that automatically installs the appropriate driver meaning the one msi file contains both 32-bit and 64-bit driver packages? Or is DIFx hard coded to the model where you distribute a bunch of installers that the end user in turn has to choose from manually? A concern is there is going to be more and more users who don't know what Windows flavor they are running. Tag: inf file? Tag: 88456

    - SetupDiOpenDeviceInterface Hello, After retrieving the Device Instance ID of a device, I am attempting to enumerate the device interfaces the device has available. I am attempting to do this by using SetupDiOpenDeviceInterface with the instance ID and then using SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces. However, SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces returns that there are no device interfaces. If I use SetupDiGetClassDevs to create a populated device info list and then enumerate the members until I find one with the correct device instance ID I can enumerate the device interfaces on that member. But this does not seem optimal as I have the device instance already, and can create an entry in my device info list with SetupDiOpenDeviceInterface. I am retrieving the instance ID by using CM_Get_Parent and then CM_Get_Device_ID. Thanks Tag: inf file? Tag: 88444

    - Incorrect IPv6 link local address assigned to adapter I'm working on an NDIS driver for a multi-adapter/port NIC. Things have been working with the Windows network stack for IP, but problems start appearing when IPv6 is installed/configured. The first thing that I noticed was that the link-local IPv6 addresses are incorrect for the adapters. Windows sets the address for each adapter to be fe80::5445:5245:444f, the same address that is assigned to the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface. The MAC address for the adapter shows up correctly, but Windows is not generating the link-local address from this. Is there something special that needs to be configured or done in the driver for Windows to generate the link-local address correctly? Tag: inf file? Tag: 88442

    - Open shared file using IoCreateFile I have been looking for information on the methods of accessing remote files over the network in the kernel code. While tracking IoCreateFile calls I noticed that the parameter passed to the IoCreateFile call gets the mount path name of the remote share and is able to open the file normally. Example \\servername\sharename is mounted on z:\ and I am trying to open z:\foldername\filename.extension and is opened through IoCreateFile call. However, when I tried to do the same it fails. After careful scrutiny I found that the difference between the two is the SecurityQualityOfService variable of object_attributes parameter. I tried to look up the information that would allow me to open â??z:\foldername\filename.extensionâ?? correctly in kernel but have not succeeded yet. If you have pointers/documentation that will help me program the same please let me know Tag: inf file? Tag: 88441

    - USB2.0 and Still image device I have the PIMA 15740:2000 document that describes the PTP Protocol for digital still devices. This document also contains the USB 1.1 implementation of PIMA15740. This is the most recent document I find on this subject. I also have the ISO 15740:2005 document but this does NOT contain the USB implementation. Question 1: In the PIMA document specifies USB 1.1 and for that the Maximum Packet Size in the Data-In and Data-Out descriptors only specify 64 bytes. Is there an update for this document with respect to USB 2.0? Where to get it, I really don't find it. Question 2: Does the usbscan.sys sriver that comes with Windows XP only support full speed and no high speed? Kind regards, Nick Tag: inf file? Tag: 88437

    - HCT testing for USB device Hi All, Could anybody comment on this? Scenario: We want to do stress tesing of a target USB device using HCT (Hardware Compatibility Test). This device works as a network device over its USB connection (Remote NDIS over USB).The device is working fine in normal conditions. We connected the device to WINXP PC with HCT 12.1 running in it. Driver category selected is Universal and the driver selected for testing is USB8023.sys. Problem: In HCT testing "USB Address Description", "USB Device Control Requests", and "USB Enumeration Stress tests" are failed. Only the "USB Descriptor" test is passed. In the failed tests, it is said "Data received from request does not match previous data" for a Device Descriptor query. But from USB analyzer, it is seen that all descriptors are trasnffered correctly. Errata 1519 on HCT: (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwtest/search/details.aspx?Type=err&ID=1519) Microsoft says "Universal serial bus (USB) devices require a hub upstream from the device in order to pass these tests. USB devices that are embedded in mobile or desktop systems, including USB ExpressCard devices, that do not have a hub upstream of the device cannot be tested in the test environment and configuration stated in the HCT documentation. These tests are not required for embedded USB devices" Question: (1) Is our failure related to the above Errata ? (2) Are the above tests valid for an USB RNDIS device? Thanks in Advance, Mathew.

    - Install PrintProcessor with INF file Hi, I want to install PrintProcessor with INF file. The only thing that I found in the DDK is: To install a print processor, an installation application must call the spooler's AddPrintProcessor function, which is described in the Platform SDK documentation. To associate a print processor with a printer driver, its file name must be listed in an .inf file by using a PrintProcessor entry. This entry must be included for every printer driver to which the print processor is to be associated. For more information, see Printer INF Files. Is there a way to install PrintProcessor with INF file ONLY? Regards Tag: inf file? Tag: 88409

    - PsxxxxxxxxNotifyRoutine and Windows Vista build 5840 Hi, I use DDK routines PsSetCreateProcessNotifyRoutine, PsCreate/RemoveThreadNotifyRoutine etc in my driver. I first register the notification routines and later remove notification routines in the driver. They used to work fine in Windows XP, Server 2003 and until Vista RC2. With the new build 5840, when the driver tries to remove the notification routine, the function never returns and the driver hangs. This doesn't happen always, but happens very frequently. I use Windows server 2003 sp ddk 3790.1830 to build the driver. Is there any change in implementation of these routines in latest Windows Vista? Thanks, RJ Tag: inf file? Tag: 88406

    - Network connection Hello, I have written a driver for a proprietary network card (which is not a standard NIC card). This is a monolithic driver and it neither does register itself as a NDIS driver nor does it communicate with NDIS stack. Now, the question is this ? What should I do to display my network adapter in 'Network Connections' (in the control panel) ? Should it necessarily be registered as a NDIS driver or is there any other solution for this ? I need this because I have a generic application that gets the list of network adapters from Network Connections in the Control Panel, and communicates with them. Thanks, Srivi. Tag: inf file?

    - SCSI Miniport HwScsiStartIo While reading about StorPort, I found this: In the SCSI Port-miniport driver I/O model, the miniport driver's StartIo routine, HwScsiStartIo, should transmit SCSI request blocks (SRBs) to the hardware as quickly as possible. This is essential, because work done in the miniport driver's StartIo routine is accomplished while interrupts are disabled and at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL. I was not aware that interrupts are disabled in HwScsiStartIo. Is this true? If so, is it documented anywhere? Tag: inf file? Tag: 88389

    - handles owned by a process hi there, I tried to make an aplication that monitors the handle of a process.

    - How to notify user mode applications from kernel mode drivers Hi, I am trying to create a file system driver with support for live notifications. That is, when ever an application changes any portion of the data in an open file, all other processes that has opened the same file should get notified about the changes. (Similar to directory change notifications, but at a more granular level of files.) It seems all that i need to do is raise a notification in the IOWrite event of my driver. But I could not get how the kernel driver can inform the user mode applications about the changes. Should I have a user mode function that regularily polls the kernel driver for the changes? Or is there any way the user mode applications can "register" for some callback and the kernel driver can invoke the callbacks right from the IOWrite call ? Which way is good/easy to implement? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Yours, P.Gopalakrishna. Tag: inf file? Tag: 88369

    - How to register a custom parse method of my device object ? Hi, I am trying to modify the RamDisk.sys KMDF sample to provide some custom path features for the files. (For example, I should be able to address the second character in the "Hello.txt" file on the RamDisk when I speciffy Z:\Hello.txt\2) I came to know that Object manager takes care of parsing the paths and dispatching the portions to associated devices. But I am not sure how I receive this in my RamDisk code. It seems Object manager would parse upto "z:\" and then would pass the "hello.txt\2" to my RamDisk driver for parsing. Is that right? And which function/event (or IOCTL) is responsible for this? Please provide some information (or sources/links) in this regard. Thanking you, Yours, P.Gopalakrishna. Tag: inf file? Tag: 88365

    - When does IRP cancel routines get called? Will not EvtDeviceReleaseHardware() get called if one of the IRPs is not completed? Hi, When I disable my driver, my event callback routines registered with KMDF get invoked. The driver receives IRP_MN_QUERY_REMOVE and once the callback routine processes this IRP and returns (is completed), the cancel routine that my driver registered for IRPs that were received by driver earlier get called for a no. of times. Question: 1. Who calls this cancel routine? Is it some application shipped along with my driver package or the PnP/IO manager takes care of calling cancellation routines for all my IRPs that my driver had not completed earlier? Does PnP/IO manager know that my driver is getting disabled(removed) and hence invokes cancel routines for all the IRPs that was not completed earlier by the driver? Does OS keep track of all these IRPs not completed? Or is the framework? 2. Once these cancel routines are executed, I dont see EvtDeviceReleaseHardware() getting executed. Is my driver EvtDeviceReleaseHardware() not getting executed because the driver did not complete all the IRPs when the cancel routine got called? Is this the reason why disable of driver did not go through throwing out a message: "Hardware settings have changed. System needs to be restarted". Regards, -Praveen Tag: inf file? Tag: 88364

    - signability.exe - supress the warning file? Is there a way of stopping signability from opening the results file after successfully running? Ideally it would suppress the results file even when warnings are found, but not when errors are found. I have added signability to an automated build procedure, which checks the inf files for all our products with drivers (about 70 inf files). Each time it runs, it opens a notepad to tell me that the inf file passed with warnings (file ... is not represented by a signed cat file - I haven't signed them yet). Its just a pain to close all these files after the build. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ Tag: inf file? Tag: 88362

    - RamDisk depends on FastFat ?? I am working on the RamDisk sample from the latest WDK (KMDF). I was trying to create a file in the ram drive and see the flow of functions therein. I was expecting RamDisk sample to parse the file path and take care of the file creating etc.. However, in reality it turns out that another driver (FastFat.sys) is taking control of the file creation and etc.. functionality, and RamDisk is receiving the calls in asynchronous mode after the FastFat. How is this connection established? I see no code dependency in RamDisk for FastFat. Does this mean all FAT drivers eventaully depend on FastFat.Sys driver?? Or is FastFat.sys a filter driver??

    - A question regarding MTU: how it can effect TCP performance + other queries Hello all, I have created a VPN application, which installs a Virtual NIC (an NDIS miniport driver) in the system. Thus when you connects with the VPN then a virtual NIC appears in the system and all the IP packets (for the VPN network) are then transferred to the Virtual NIC. From my virtual NIC i am transferring the IP packets back to a user lever application (via file interface CrateFile(), ReadFile(), WriteFile()) which then sends all those IP packets to the remote machine (a computer having similar VPN application and VNIC driver running) using a socket connection. I need to do following: 1. I would like to know how changing (increasing and/or decreasing) the MTU of the Virtual NIC could effect the performance of the system. Please feel free to give your thoughts/comments on it. 2. I also like to calculate time to transfer IP packet from my VNIC driver to the user level application. I just like to ask what APIs can I use in the driver to calculate time and then in the user application also to calculate time. I actually am thinking about getting system time using some API in the driver and put that time information in a packet and send that packet to user application. Then user application uses some other API to calculate time when it recieves the packet and then to calculate time difference by subtracting time calculated by the driver from that of user application. But I dont know which specific API should I use in user level application which gives me time in the same format as calculated by some other API in the driver. Please reply, Thanks, Arsalan Tag: inf file? Tag: 88356

Thanks in advance! :)Dieter pci_f14_mon.inf ------------------ [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" Class="BBIS boards" ClassGUID={A729BECD-2979-48f3-AA9F-7E0B96A0A98C} Provider=%MEN% DriverVer = 11/02/2006,1.4.0.0 [SourceDisksNames.x86] 1=MEN 13m00006 - MDIS System Package for Windows,"",, [SourceDisksFiles.x86] men_qt-mt.dll=1 men_mdis_clinst.dll=1 men_evlg.dll=1 men_pci.sys=1 [DestinationDirs] DefaultDestDir=12 ClassInst_Files=11 ;; ;; Class installation section ;; [ClassInstall32.ntx86] AddReg=AddClassReg CopyFiles=ClassInst_Files [AddClassReg] HKR,,,,"BBIS boards" HKR,,Icon,,101 HKR,,Installer32,,"men_mdis_clinst.dll,BbisClassInstaller" [ClassInst_Files] men_qt-mt.dll,,,%COPYFLG% men_mdis_clinst.dll,,,%COPYFLG% men_evlg.dll,,,%COPYFLG% ;; ;; Device list ;; [Manufacturer] %MEN%=MEN [MEN] "PCI - ICH6/7 LPC on MEN F14/F15/F17/D601 CPU (required for F14_MON)"=*PCI*,root\men_pci ;; ;; *PCI* sections ;; [*PCI*] ...

    - Problem With - KSPROPERTY_DROPPEDFRAMES_CURRENT!!! & AmCap Hello, I have developed Avstream minidriver for camera device having a video capture pin. I have implemented PROPSETID_VIDCAP_DROPPEDFRAMES property for pin and in the handler i am returning all values properly. But i have some issues regarding it, 1) when tried driver with amcap application it dint show any kind of status of captured and dropped frame. 2) When i tried debugging , though it got IID_IAMDroppedFrames interface its failing at hr = gcap.pDF->GetNumDropped(&lDropped); 3) When i checked Driver log my handler is called too. but still amcap is not able to display the capture and drop information returned to it. 4) Captured file is playing properly, but when amcap is capturing , preview window goes blank no video is being previewed during capturing to file. Please help me . Thanks & Rgds, Darshan Tag: inf file? Tag: 88295

    - Hyperthread issue Hi , I have developed a virutal ethernet driver which runs on a pci card. This works fine on a single cpu machine(celeron) with windows XPE. when i want the same to work on the hyperthread machine (p4) with windows XPE, i am facing a problem. Send handler running in the Dispatch level, is called for the second time by the same cpu(say cpu 1), even before the first call gets completed. The send handler holds a spinlock within that is sends the acknowledgements to the application. During the 2nd call, when the cpu tries to acquire the spinlock, the system hangs. Please let me know whether the above phenomenon is proper and how to avoid this race condition. Regards, Kans. Tag: inf file? Tag: 88293

    - Using DIFxApp with Visual Studio 2005 Can you use DIFxApp merge modules with Visual Studio 2005? I added DIFxApp.msm to my existing setup project. What I would like to do now is add a driver package to the setup project. But I can't figure out what to do to achieve this. The msm has mininal properties and I can't find any GUI for adding a driver package. I see a lot of references to database tables and orca but they don't seem to have a parallel in VS2005. Any help appreciated. Tag: inf file? Tag: 88291

    - NDIS mini-port and an application power management cooperation Hi All, The issue has been already discussed in a few forums. However, I would like to raise another aspect - can a "friendly" application be used in cooperation with NDIS mini-port driver to detect and to initiate the device low power setting. We have encountered the same problem with NDIS mini-port limitations - low power setting while a device idle (no activity). But in our situation we provide both an application and NDIS mini-port driver SW packages. Thus, my question is: Can we involve our application SW in order to initiate the NDIS mini-port driver low power setting? For example, Vista allows DeviceControl (even proprietary ones) IOCTLs communication between an application and device driver. Can such mechanism be used in order to initiate a device low power transition (e.g USB selective suspend) while the device detects idle conditions? Thanks in advance, Avi Tag: inf file? Tag: 88285

    - Calling ReadRegistryParams() and NdisOpenConfiguration() from MiniportInitialise() causes system instability. I have seen various BSODs unrelated to my driver that I have tracked down to a combination of these function calls at initialise time. Are there any known issues regarding this? Thanks in advance.

    - use toaster sample to simulate USB device enumeration I am studying the toaster on bus behavior. Now I want to know can I use this sample to simulate USB device plugin/unplug. 1. can I use 'enum' console application to send the IOCTL to tell the busenum driver that a new USB device is plugged in? Do I need to modify the code of it? 2. what do I need to modify the busenum driver code to tell PnP manager that a USB device is attached? Any comment is appreaciated. Tag: inf file? Tag: 88281

    - (null) For the past 30 years or so, when seeing the word "(null)" (without the quotes but with the parentheses) output in the middle of an otherwise sensible output string, it has commonly been due to passing a null pointer to printf or similar API. My understanding is that this started with BSD Unix, maybe when someone decided that some abuses of null pointers were less important than others so they made printf display (null) instead of segfaulting, or maybe a coder of printf internals forgot that segfaulting would be a good thing to do, at least during debugging stages. Does a Windows XP API (maybe a native API) do the same thing? Or is it just coincidence? Does the boot-time version of the CHKDSK command pass a null pointer to an API where a non-null pointer is required? Or is it just a coincidence? Maybe the boot-time version of the CHKDSK command intentionally outputs the word (null) to give geeks a scare but maybe it's mostly harmless? It was really really comforting to see Windows XP boot after displaying the following on a blue background: Windows replaced bad clusters in file \pagefile.sys of name (null). Windows replaced bad clusters in file \WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP of name (null). It was really really comforting to see Windows boot after that, and operate without any apparent ill effects. It was really really comforting to see Windows XP robustly survive some strongly suspicious evidence that low-level internals are passing null pointers around where non-null pointers are required. But maybe it was just a coincidence? Or by design? Windows XP internals don't really pass null pointers around where non-null pointers are required, right? They surely wouldn't pass such things to printf, they surely wouldn't pass such things to memcpy, they surely wouldn't write such things into memory descriptors in RAM or file descriptors on disk or anything else like that, right? They've all been verified, right? Tag: inf file? Tag: 88271

    - Please example of RtlStringCbVPrintfA...! Hi. I try to use RtlStringCbVPrintfA funciton. my code: RtlStringCbVPrintfA(pszBUFF, nPathSize, "%s\\%s", szVolume, szFolder); But the code is 'too many parameter'. So I made next code: void printfA(PCHAR szDest, int nDestSize, PCHAR Format, ...) { va_list va; NTSTATUS status; va_start(va, Format); status = RtlStringCbVPrintfA(szDest, nDestSize, Format, va); va_end(va); } But the code doesn't work also. How do I use the function? Tag: inf file? Tag: 88269

I want to install the diskperf.sys sample for a volume instead of
the entire disk. Can someone help me to modify the relevant
sections of the inf file. The volume will have a GUID number
which, I am guessing, can be found in the STORAGE key,
hopefully they are arranged in increasing drive letters, otherwise
I will have to try them one by one, but just assume I have
the GUID.
