Bug In Receive Handling For Legacy Adapters

Knowledge Base ID	KB11039902
Category	CLOSED BUG
Effected Product	NDIS PIM 9X - NDIS Pseudo-Intermediate (PIM) Driver for Windows 9X
Effected Versions	V1.00.01.07 and prior
Effected Platforms	Windows 95, Windows 98

Symptoms

Received packets are corrupted by the NDIS PIM 9X driver as they are passed to higher level protocols when NDIS PIM 9X is operating on some legacy NDIS adapter drivers.

Cause

Certain legacy NDIS adapters or their drivers only indicate partial packets when calling a protocol's ReceiveHandler. In this case the protocol driver must call NdisTransferData to fetch the additional data.

The current NDIS PIM 9X implementation does not call NdisTransferData correctly in this situation, with the result that packets passed upwards to the higher-level protocols are incomplete or corrupted.

Resolution

The fix to this bug is under development.

Please let us know if you have observed this problem, We would like to collect a comprehensive list of legacy drivers that have this behavior.

Status

March 12, 2000	Fixed in V1.00.01.08.
November 3, 1999	The fix to this bug is currently under development.
