Register NDIS driver to set device name

Hi

I have access to NDIS miniport driver code - I want to
communicate to it from a user app. I was attempting to
register the device using NDISMRegister Device so that I
could give it a device name and be able to access it. But
that crashes my system.

Can NDISMRegisterDevice be used with
NDISMRegisterMiniport without crashing the driver?

Can I retrieve device names without having to register
the device ?

I want to create a shared memory interface with the
driver using an IOCTL and am a novice to device driver
programming - hence the questions.

Thanks in advance
Brinda

Get hold of Server 2003 DDK and follow the src\network\ndis\NETVMINI sample.
That sample is meant for beginners like you.
