Maybe a newsgroup?
I certainly would like more info and feedback on these drivers - many of
the ones we see are definitely - er - flaky?

As I understand it NDIS is a token passing protocol - so all incoming packets

if a packet is claimed, whether the driver then doesn't offer it further.
I should dig oput those NDIS specs...
