| November 22, 2006 | Self-Signing NDIS Protocol Drivers for Windows Vista |
|
On x64-based versions of Windows
Vista NDIS protocol drivers simply will not be loaded unless they are
digitally signed. A short article on NDIS.com describes how to self-sign NDIS protocol
drivers for Windows Vista.

| November 14, 2006 | Notes for Installing Rawether V5.5.18.04 on Windows Vista |
|
Rawether V5.5.18.04 was
developed and released prior to the release of Windows Vista. Although this
version of Rawether does not include Vista support, as an interim measure it
can be made to work on Vista.
For more information, see
Installing Rawether V5.5.18.04 on Windows Vista Notes.

| August 23, 2006 | Rawether for Windows V6.0 Pre-Release Executables (for Windows Vista) |
|
Rawether V6.0 will include support for Windows Vista. A pre-release of test executables is available for download. Rawether V6.0.2001.1 is not fully functional. Specifically, it does not include the Rawether NDIS 6.0 protocol driver. Please let us know if you encounter any problems with the installation. For more information, see
Vista Installation Notes.

| April 19, 2006 | Windows Defender Erroneous Potential Malware Reports |
|
The Windows Defender product erroneously reports the Rawether for Windows NDIS protocol drivers as potential malware. After testing the interaction between Windows Defender and Rawether for Windows, it seems that Defender's behavior is quite reasonable. Defender essentially reminds the user that a driver is being installed and provides the user with information needed to decide whether or not to allow the driver installation. For more information, see
Windows Defender Erroneous Potential Malware Report.

| October 22, 2004 | Rawether .NET Finishes Beta Testing |
|
Rawether .NET is a .NET Framework API written in C# that provides a uniform interface between user-mode applications and PCAUSA NDIS drivers. Basically, it is a C# version of the current Rawether for Windows 'C' API - but greatly extended. Rawether .NET provides a rich, consistent NDIS user-mode .NET Framework API across the Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 platforms.Beta testing uncovered one "real" bug in some overloads of the .NET SetInformation method. Based on feedback some additional 802.11 classes were added to simplify setting WEP and WPA keys. In addition, this release includes a new C# forms-based application in addition to the console application provided with the initial Beta. The C# NDIScope application includes a simple packet capture dialog intended to illustrate that Rawether .NET does include a practical .NET packet collection interface. The packet collection dialog us (very) loosely modeled after the well-known TcpDump utility. |

| April 14, 2004 | Rawether V5.03.16.58 Released |
|
Interim bug fix release for bug introduced in
V5.03.16.57. The flaw was in kernel-mode string parsing code used to
extract ServiceName from the RegistryPath in DriverEntry routine. This bug has the effect of causing the creation of a bogus driver ServiceName and SymbolicLink name under some conditions. On some systems running WLANDetect the first time would succeed. However, running WLANDetect a second time would fail. Since it was a string-related bug there could have been other unpredictable problems as well.
