You do need the DDK, and it's actually freely downloadable from the Microsoft website. The latest one (Win2003SP1) is available as part of the KMDF http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF_pkg.mspx You can find a sample of a virtual NDIS miniport driver (i.e. a virtual network card driver) in the samples, it's called netvmini. > > I've never done this myself (except for a DOS device driver for my own > diploma several years ago) so I won't be much help here. > > In general, writing a kernel mode device driver isn't usually an easy > task.
