In general, each Windows version is tied to a specific NDIS version. So
XP Embedded 32 bit would be running the NDIS version associated with XP
(aka NT 5.01). As far as I recall, this would be NDIS5.1 . XP 64 bit
for Itanium is/was also NT 5.01/NDIS5.1, but XP 64 bit for x64 is NT
5.02/NDIS5.2

The use of different NDIS versions with a single Windows version was
mostly an issue in the Win9x days, as those systems supported both 16
bit NDIS2.x and 32 bit NDIS3.x network drivers, with different bugs and
system behaviors for each.

But I must admit that I am not an NDIS expert, so this is just what I
seem to remember off the top of my head...

And each version of Windows will accept NDIS device drivers within a small
range of NDIS versions.
XP Pro will accept NDIS 5.0 and NDIS 5.1 drivers. Vista will grudgingly
accept NDIS 5.0 and 5.1
drivers but really prefers NDIS 6.0 drivers. I don't know about XP embedded
though.
