The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) is an application programming interface (API) for network interface controllers (NICs). Specification.
NDISwrapper enables a Unix-like system to use Windows drivers of type NDIS and WIFI. It was useful at a time where there were no Linux Wi-Fi drivers for common Wi-Fi cards. It is composed of: An NDIS driver, which is a kind of overlay for Ethernet device drivers. A Wi-Fi manager, to control the radio and security part of the Wi-Fi card.
The Open Data-Link Interface (ODI), developed by Apple and Novell, serves the same function as Microsoft and 3COM's Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS). [1] Originally, ODI was written for NetWare and Macintosh environments. Like NDIS, ODI provides rules that establish a vendor-neutral interface between the protocol stack and the ...
NDIS 6.0 introduced in Windows Vista supports offloading IPv6 traffic and checksum calculations for IPv6, improved manageability, scalability and performance with reduced complexity for NDIS miniports, and simpler models for writing Lightweight Filter Drivers (LWF). LWF drivers are a combination of NDIS intermediate drivers and a miniport ...
The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) defines at least three non-proprietary USB communications device class (USB CDC) protocols with comparable "virtual Ethernet" functionality; one of them (CDC-ECM) predates RNDIS and is widely used for interoperability with non-Microsoft operating systems, but does not work with Windows.
NDIS may refer to: National Disability Insurance Scheme, Australian disability support service scheme; National DNA Index System, an American interstate DNA database; Network Driver Interface Specification, computer application programming interface for network interface cards; NDISwrapper, software application
Network device drivers for Windows XP use NDIS 5.x and may work with subsequent Windows operating systems, but for performance reasons network device drivers should implement NDIS 6.0 or higher. [8] Similarly, WDDM is the driver model for Windows Vista and up, which replaces XPDM used in graphics drivers.
The NDIS is the second most expensive government program in Australia, after the aged pension. [97] The NDIS cost 29.3 billion in 2021–22, 33.9 billion in 2022–23, 38.0 billion in 2023–24 and is forecast to cost 41.4 billion in 2024–25 and 44.6 billion in 2025–26. [98]
