Crashed after 1-2 days, but actually I found that ndis5 of 0.11.0.213
has major differences from ndis5 of 0.11.0.312 so I am not sure what
that means?

The whole reason I am doing all the testing is because the net
performance of 0.11.0.213 is not good enough and 0.11.0.312 has near
native performance on gigabit links - but even the ndis5 driver of
0.11.0.312 has very good performance so it does not seem to be an NDIS 6
improvement.

Any news on your side?

Regards Andreas
