RE: ndis 5.1 in windows 7

For certain link speeds you will not be able to WHQL certify an Ndis 5 driver
and will need a 6.x one, but as far as loading and working, Ndis 5.x driver
shoudl be OK on Win7. At least that's what the logo reqs say and what my
experience has been with a couple of USB ethernet devices.

-1073676283 = 0xC0010005L which is NDIS_STATUS_BAD_CHARACTERISTICS, so you
probably made a mistake filling up the characteristics structure. Have you
tried that same same driver under Xp (where Ndis 6 does not exist) to make
sure you got it right ?
