I'm trying to locate the Windows 3.11 & Windows NT  NDIS network API
docs to allow a direct programming interface to the NDIS drivers on
those platforms. I have used packet drivers in the past on DOS &
Windows but it seems NDIS is the standard for all newer MS operating
systems.

3COM have the NDIS2.xx real mode API docs on their Web site but
nothing that covers NDIS 3 protected mode that I can discover.

I need to write programs that send and receive  *raw* Ethernet packets
for packet monitoring and generation, and I understand NDIS will let
me do that.  No luck with MS so far, and MSVC++ 2 & 4  Help has
nothing on the subject.  I have MSDN Level 1, do Level 2 or 3 have the
information?

Can anybody out there help me?

Thanks

Steve,

 You need MSDN level II to get the NT DDK which documents the
 Ndis 3.xx interface. The documentation isn't complete, is sometimes
 incorrect and misleading, but it's all there is at this point.

Good luck!
