Remote NDIS Drivers (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) drivers provide functionality for a Windows Embedded Compact-based device to act as a host computer's network miniport driver across a plug-and-play I/O bus such as USB. Remote NDIS moves NDIS-handling functionality from the host computer into a Windows Embedded Compact-based device, allowing for a wide range of network device functionality and performance levels that would otherwise not be possible with a typical NDIS network adapter.

For reference information, see RNDIS Driver Reference.

Sample code for Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) drivers is available in %_WINCEROOT% at the locations listed below.
