i am currently trying to add support for WMI in my NDIS IM driver.
Thomas Divine pointed me to a sample by James Antognini, where he
shows how to do that.
unfortunately, it seems that the old way (map a WMI GUID to a NDIS
OID, respond to that OID) does not work anymore. James' sample is
quite old (2003), and that way doesn't seem to work anymore.
recent Microsoft documentation gives the impression that handling WMI
via NDIS is not a good idea anymore and IM drivers should do the same
as protocol drivers, become WDM drivers, and handle WMI directly and
not via NDIS.
our IM is targeted at NDIS 5.1 because we still have to support WinXP.
yet, James' sample doesn't work on XP (with recent updates) either.
are there any samples of a WMI-enabled NDIS protocol anywhere?
