AIC-6915 Ethernet LAN Controller Programmer’s Manual

DDK Development Environment

The drivers contained in the DDK were written for the Windows NT environment.  There
is an NDIS 3.0/4.0 driver and an NDIS 5.0 driver in the DDK. They were developed using
Version 5.0 of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. When using this compiler version, the
/Ox optimization cannot be used in a free build.  Using the default optimization of /Oxs
results in some incorrect code generation.  The drivers have been built and tested using
both the NT 3.51, NT 4.0, and NT 5.0 versions of the SDK and DDK.
