    - Specifying a resource for mf.sys Is there a way of specifying a resource override for mf.sys to use for a PCMCIA card that is compliant with the PCMCIA Multifunction standard. I am having problems getting the mf.sys to take any notice of a top level inf file for the card. It seems to go straight into installing via mf.inf. I need to specify an overide to the defualt parameters and this isn't working in the child function inf files. Paul Harrison Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69258

    - Encryption filter driver Hi I'm writning filter driver which encrypts/decrypts files on the fly. I took sources of filemon from sysinternals as a starting point and added encryption functionality. Works fine, but I have two problems: 1) When the application uses file - memory mapping, I cannot capture any read/write request. I found that data is accessed directly in cache manager, but I still don't know how to solve this problem. "File System Internals" by Rajeev Nagar didn't help me :) 2) When I map a network drive, \\server\folder\file.txt to x: I can capture requests to the x:\file.txt , but I need to capture \\server\folder without using network drive mapping mechanism. I didn't find anything interesting in IFS kit samples, but maybe I missed something ? Does anyone know any useful sample source code, or can explain me how to solve theese two problems? It must work on W2k and later. I found that XP has for example callback mechanism that can be used to solve my first problem, but working only on XP is not enough :( Thanks a lot.

    - The priority of routing table in Windows? Dear all, If multiple NICs set different gateways as the default routing, how does tcpip.sys choose the interface to send packet if the destination IP is outsides? For example, the routing table is: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.101 20 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.169.1.1 192.169.1.101 20 Can I control the Windows to send packet always through the specified interface, such as 192.168.1.101, even through I reset other interfaces.

    - Portmon results in STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST Hello all, I'm trying to get some serial communications to work with an Usb-rs232 converter. The problem I started with is that I cant read (I'm getting timeouts) from the converter from my code. It does work when I read from a 'real' rs232 port, and it also works with Hyperterminal in both directions. To solve this I've tried to connect the portmon utility to the port. But when I first start the portmon utility and then try to get the PDO thru the following code (below, mostly copied from toastmon) I get an STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST (C0000010) from the call to IoCallDriver. This happens both on the 'real' rs232 and also on the usb convertor one. any suggestions/help on this? Regards Sander static NTSTATUS getTargetDevicePdo ( PDEVICE_OBJECT devObj, PFILE_OBJECT fileObj, PDEVICE_OBJECT* pdo ) { KEVENT event; NTSTATUS status; PIRP irp; IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioStatusBlock; KeInitializeEvent( &event, NotificationEvent, FALSE ); irp = IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest ( IRP_MJ_PNP, devObj, NULL, 0, NULL, &event, &ioStatusBlock ); status = STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES; { PIO_STACK_LOCATION irpStack; irpStack = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation( irp ); irpStack->MinorFunction = IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_RELATIONS; irpStack->Parameters.QueryDeviceRelations.Type = TargetDeviceRelation; irpStack->FileObject=fileObj; irp->IoStatus.Status = STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED; status = IoCallDriver( devObj, irp ); if (status == STATUS_PENDING) { KeWaitForSingleObject( &event, Executive, KernelMode, FALSE, NULL ); status = ioStatusBlock.Status; } // Here status==STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST. if (NT_SUCCESS( status)) { PDEVICE_RELATIONS deviceRelations; deviceRelations = (PDEVICE_RELATIONS)ioStatusBlock.Information; ASSERT(deviceRelations); *pdo= deviceRelations->Objects[0]; ExFreePool(deviceRelations); } } return status; } Tag: how can i view old posts?

    - How to bind passthru to NDIS USB driver Following on from earlier, and pestering Thomas, I'd like to throw this one in the ring... I'm trying to load the passthru intermediate driver (and Thomas's variants thereof) and bind it to a USB data-link cable device. These cables link two PCs, providing ethernet connection between them, over USB. The passthru intermediate driver binds to the NIC and the modem port (NDISWAN), but not to the USB devices (two connected). The USB devices appear in the Network Connections window as 'Local Area Connection's . Their device name is given as 'USB Virtual Network Adapter #n'. They transmit IP and act like an ethernet connection over an ethernet NIC. In addition to that, they can automatically provide an IP address, to each connected PC -ie contain a DHCP server each end. The class in the INF file for the USB devices is 'net'. I'm using Thomas's passthru sample INFs unmodified (though I've tried a few changes!) So my question is... How do I get a passthru sample driver to bind to the USB devices? What changes do I need to make to the INF file? (I'm not using a notify object.) Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69198

    - Does USB ActiveSync driver (WCEUSBSH) need to be signed? Hi, We designed handheld device (running WinCE) that support ActiveSync over USB. We have added the USB Vid/Pid of our device to the WCEUSBSH.INF. But when WCEUSBSH is installed for the very first time on WinXP, it will prompt a warning message that the driver is not signed. Some of our customers are not comfortable to see that warning message. So, the question is whether we should sign the driver/INF file. We are wondering since the driver is not writen by us (it's actually supplied by Microsoft), we just use add the PnP ID, do we really need to sign the driver? And if so, how could we proceed?

    - capturing packets with intel NICs with vlan tag ids intact I'm using WinPcap to get packets from an intel NIC. I already know that there is a special debug/monitor build of their drivers which do not strip VLAN tag IDs before WinPcap can access the packets, but I was wondering if there was another programmatic way of disabling the VLAN tag ID stripping with the latest intel NIC drivers. I've also noticed in the post "Is the MUX Sample Driver Incorrect" that VLAN tag information is considered OOB data. Do the Intel miniport drivers follow this convention? While it's not as desirable as to have to reconstruct the VLAN headers with this OOB data, it would be a possible solution... Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69189

I changed KSDATARANGE.SubFormat into MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB8 from MEDIASUBTYPE_UYVY. But Amcap image color didn't gray 8bit bcz I didn't initialize color Palette. When our capture driver received SRB_GET_DATA_INTERSECTION, I added grayscale Palette to end of KS_DATAFORMAT_VIDEOINFOHEADER. Amcap image color became to good.

    - how does GDI handle cursor? Hi all, My problem is one application set a cursor. One one adapter, it's alpha cursor. On anonther one, it's color cursor. And it seems their data both are wrong. I think maybe display driver's some behavior cause GDI converting wrong data. Some hints and Questions. MSDN said "The LoadCursor function automatically selects the most appropriate data for the current display device. " Does it means when we load a bitmap as a cursor , GDI will convert bitmap data to be multiple data (include color cursor and alpha cursor) and store them as resource? Where does "the most appropriate data" comes from? What does the "current display device" means? Thanks, SLASH Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69120

    - [amd64] Exception in MM resulting in elevated IRQL Hello, It looks like I hit OS bug -- your expert opinion would be _greatly appreciated_. Failure scenario is following: 1) FS filter driver called to service IRP_MJ_CREATE (PASSIVE_LEVEL). At some point, implementation calls CcCacheWrite(WAIT) to update cached metadata. 2) As memory page found non-resident, MM calls driver with IRP_MJ_READ/IRP_PAGING_IO request (at APC_LEVEL). nt!CcCacheWrite -> nt!CcMapAndCopy -> nt!MmCheckCachedPageState -> nt!mAccessFault -> nt!IoPageRead -->filterread 3) Reads being issued to lower-level driver, and request successfully completes, with STATUS_SUCCESS returned. 4) However, nt!MmAccessFault implementation, right after returning from nt!IoPageRead() calls nt!MiWaitForInPageComplete(). It throws ACCESS_VIOLATION (c0000005) right up to CcCacheWrite exception handler. [CcCacheWrite documented to throw INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES and must be invoked at < DISPATCH_LEVEL] Trouble is, once exception is caught, we are now at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and it goes downhill from here. Problem occurs on Win2K3 2cpu amd64, with 100% repro: Windows Server 2003 Kernel Version 3790 (Service Pack 1) MP (2 procs) Free x64 Product: Server, suite: Enterprise TerminalServer SingleUserTS Built by: 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447 Product is mature and runs on x86 or Itanium platforms without anything similar ever noted. It is possible, of course, that something in the paging IO read handling provokes the bug, but I see nothing obviously wrong; no problems were noted before. ACCESS_VIOLATION with elevated IRQL looks wrong anyhow. Any ideas? Many thanks, ygs. Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69101

    - Point-to-point tunnel interface I've been looking at how to develop a tunnel interface, similar to what we find in Linux/*BSD environments, tun(4). This interface is seen as a point-to-point interface, and can be read/write into to move packets in and out of the kernel. This is really useful to create new tunnel encapsulation methods (IPv4-over-IPv4, IPv4-over-UDP/v4, IPv6-over-*, etc.) On Windows, information is available to create a NDIS miniport driver, but this approach would make the driver "ethernet-like" (broadcast interface) instead of p2p. Consequence is one has to handle things like ARP and such to make that interface appear as p2p. I believe the same applies to an IM driver approach. It appears like the approach should be a something like a NDISWAN driver, where this interface is seen be the operating system as a "Tunnel Adapter", but without the L2 framing (PPP, etc.). Is that approach possible? Is there any pointer for documentation on doing this kind of development? Thanks. Florent. Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69073

    - Sending Async Irp with IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE Hi, I am creating an Async Irp in firefly with control code IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE to get the feature report. I am using IoAllocateIrp() and IoAllocateMdl() for the irp creation. The expected behavior is this irp will get status_pending in return and the real hardware change will trigger the completion routine gets call. The custom HIDMini driver now calls IoMarkIrpPending and return status_pending for this irp. But the firefly filter halts at the call of IoCallDriver(). PIRP irp = IoAllocateIrp(NextLowerDriver->StackSize + 1, FALSE); irpSp = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation(irp); irpSp->MajorFunction = IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL; irpSp->Parameters.DeviceIoControl.IoControlCode = IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE; irpSp->Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength = FeatureReportLength; irpSp->FileObject = fileObject; irp->MdlAddress = IoAllocateMdl( report, FeatureReportLength, FALSE, FALSE, (PIRP)NULL ); ... ... IoSetCompletionRoutine(irp, GetFeatureCompletionRoutine, Context, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE); status1 = IoCallDriver(NextLowerDriver, irp); <--- this call never returns I wonder since the mini driver Marks the irp pending and return status pending, why the GetFeatureCompletionRoutine never gets triggered and the "status1" code never gets assigned any value. Is it because the Hid class handle IOCTL_HID_GET_FEATURE synchronously?? So the irp will not come back until it is completed? In that case, what method should I use to send a irp down to get the hardware event? I am also considering to assess the "Extra Information" and "Raw button" field in the MOUSE_INPUT_DATA struct, as long as the custom mini driver can fill in these field. But I am not sure how to send back these info in the mini driver. Please help. Thanks in advance. Regards, Angela Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69071

    - To lock, or not to lock, pages... Ok, I inherited a basic Windows USB driver that handles pushing data across a couple of bulk pipes. This driver works fine under Win2K, but eventually crashes XP/SP2 with a page fault error... Now, this driver takes a large user buffer and chops it up into nice USB-able sized blocks. It allocates a MDL and then re-uses it over and over again, freeing it once the entire transfer has been shoved across the bulk pipe. Never does it try to MmProbeAndLockPages(), which I found odd.. but it works under Win2K.. So my question is: should I put in MmProbeAndLockPages() for the user buffer? And if so, before or after IoBuildPartialMdl() (I think before since the user buffer needs to be resident, right)? I'm somewhat clueless, so apologies if this is a dim question. I'm reading all the docs I can get my hands on! Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69069

    - Win98 Keyboard driver for exclusive control of PS/2 keyboards Greetings. Is it possible to write a Win98 keyboard driver that is dedicated only to PS/2 keyboards? The reason is that I've toasted the built-in keyboard of my notebook (Microflex, FlexNote 595). An external keyboard has been plugged to the PS/2 port, but unfortunately, the internal one still refuses to relinquish its grip with the system. As both keyboards share IRQ 1, wonder if there is any chance of customizing/re-writing a keyboard driver so that it's able to analyse the source of the interrupt and ignore anything except from the PS/2 port. Being a newbie to win32 system programming, hope to get some ideas on this one before downloading the Win98 DDK. Thanks. Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69053

    - 1394 Virtual Devices And Writing To Host Config ROM Hello All, I can successfully add a Unit Directory to the my first pc's 1394 Host Config ROM to represent my virtual device. And I can verify that the host's config ROM contains my new unit directory and text leaf by using my FireSpy tool. My unit directory looks just like the "NIC1394" unit directory which I guess is added by windows at boot time. When I connect a second pc containing a 1394 host controller, the plug and play manager of the second pc does "know" that there is "new hardware" listed in the first pc's config rom and it trys to find a driver for the new device. However, the new hardware found dialog on the second pc always displays "Unknown" instead of the device string information I wrote to the Text Leaf in the first pc's config ROM. Is there some magic to adding a Unit Directory to a 1394 host config ROM? There is very little documentation on how to write to the host config rom to emulate hardware. I think I'm doing everything correctly. Thanks in advance for any help, Scott Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69048

    - Questions about driver install using DIFx I'm trying to install a network filter driver using DIFx2.0 and got two questions: 1. DIFx2.0's document for DPInst says that the DriverPackageType has to be either ClassFilter or PlugAndPlay. Does this mean they don't support drivers of other types anymore? DIFx1.1 used to support more than the two types. Why the upgraded DIFx supports less types? 2. Our driver has two inf files, say a.inf and b.inf. I used "Network" as their driver type anyway and put them under the same directory of the DPinst.exe. After installation, the Device manager shows two copies of the network filter, where there should be one item only. The a.inf lists b.inf under the [SourceDisksFiles] section. Also, DIFx says that any inf files in the DPInst.exe's directory will be parsed. I wonder if the b.inf file got picked up twice? Thanks! James Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 69022

    - Windows System Information in Kernel Mode Does anyone know if there is a kernel-mode function (in Windows 2000 or XP) similar to SystemParametersInfo or GetSystemMetrics? Specifically, I am writing a mouse driver and want to be able to check the GetSystemMetrics( SM_SWAPBUTTON ) parameter on the fly in order to make it appear to the user that my mouse ignores the system setting. Is it possible in kernel mode? Thanks in advance! Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 68984

    - Device Driver - Direct Access to Endpoint 0 Hi All, I have made a USB functional driver and it is stacked on top of "usb bus driver" & "usb host controller driver". It uses the services of the lower driver(s) to access descriptors and activate the selected interface. We plan to use endpoint 0 (control type) for some function specific WRITE functionality (like beep buzzer, blink error LED) Is it possible for the functional driver to directly access endpoint 0? I could not find any DDK calls that can allow this access. Thanks Ashish Tag: how can i view old posts? Tag: 68971

    - Question about using MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe or MmGetSystemAddressForMdl Hi All, As I know, calling the MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe or MmGetSystemAddressForMdl function may cause to call the MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache or MmMapLockedPages function if the page is not already mapped. So my question is, do we need to call MmUnmapLockedPages for un-map the page which mapped by MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe or MmGetSystemAddressForMdl, if it is no longer need. And, how to check it is mapped or not? I saw the MmUnmapLockedPages function was not called on the example of the article "What does MmProbeAndLockPages actually lock?" on the msdn website, when unmap the pages.

    - 64bit issues After years of procrastination I finally upgraded my development environment and test lab to support 64bit builds and test systems. That's the good news. The bad news is that the 3790 ddk x64 compiler is failing on me with rather hideous frequency. Here are a pair of typical examples: sys\nullfdo\nullfdo.cpp(1) : error <func:#12> Compiler error (assertion): file f:\vs70builds\2232\vc\Compiler\Utc\src\P2\p2symtab.c line 5112 sys\nullfdo\nullfdo.cpp(1) : error <func:#12> Compiler error (internal): Access Violation Fault (instruction at "0x1083B042" read memory at "0x00000030") The development system is a dell xeon workstation - and it is not randomly croaking on other activities, so I more or less have to conclude that there are issues with the x64 cross compilation. Anybody else having similar problems? Is this a known bug? I googled this and indeed there are other people reporting similar assertion failures. Here is a response from Ms on this very issue: "You are using a pretty old compiler. Are you on Betaplace for the AMD64 PSDK beta? If so, go there to get the latest one. If not, email me and I'll get you added to the program. Thanks, Kang Su Gatlin Visual C++ Program Manager" http://www.mcse.ms/archive108-2004-6-754977.html Hmm... pretty old compiler? This guy was using the 3790 DDK. So I looked at my build configuration and lo and behold, for everything except WDF drivers I am using the 3790 DDK. It seems that the 3790 DDK doesn't actually reliably support x64 builds. Before you say "well just go use the 3790.1830 ddk", I thought the same thing. However there is a reason why I'm stuck on 3790: the last released IFS kit is 3790 and I need bits and pieces from that to build all of the stuff I build. So I am sort of stuck. The WDK has all of the IFS bits, but it is beta. The 3790 ddk is unacceptable.
