Network Driver Interface Specifications (NDIS)

Microsoft NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specifications) 2.01 and 3.x are driver
specifications developed by Microsoft Corporation to offer a standard driver
interface for all adapters. A standard driver interface provides flexibility to support
not only multiple network adapter cards but also multiple protocol stacks. As a
result, many operating systems have incorporated the NDIS interface to make
configuration and installation of network adapters easy and independent of the
network adapter used.
