描述

Hi Team, We are trying to migrate from native WiFi drivers to WDI, and started looking into WDI driver design. There are many things to consider during design phase. We also gone through the sample driver from https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/network/wlan and my understanding is above sample driver is built for RTL8723BS chip from Realtek.

So two questions here on further approach.

  1. RTL8723BS can be procured as pluggable NIC for reference ? If Yes, please provided references. If not, let us know how can we test the sample driver provided in github
  2. Is sample driver can be used for migration, by removing Relatek specific code and replace with our WiFi chip code by modifying HAL layer of this sample ?

研究方向
The user is asking about using the RTL8723BS sample driver for migration. Investigate the sample driver code at https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows driver samples/tree/master/network/wlan/wdi to understand its structure. Check Windows driver documentation for WDI (WLAN Device Driver Interface) and consider whether the hardware specific HAL layer can be replaced. The issue has one assignee, so check if there is any ongoing work. Also, look for any related discussions or documentation on migrating from native WiFi drivers to WDI.
