This section is provided for engineers creating drivers to support broadband devices. Such drivers must be created as connection-oriented NDIS 5 drivers, as described in “Network Drivers” in the Windows 2000 DDK.
Drivers for devices that implement the PPP-over-ATM standard can take advantage of broadband configuration support in Windows Me without modifications.
Drivers for devices that implement PPP-over-Ethernet and the IETF RFC 1483 ATM adaptation layer-5 encapsulation standard must observe the guidelines described in this article.
The following guidelines must be observed for drivers that implement broadband support using the PPP-over-Ethernet or RFC 1483 standards:
