Hi,

I Wonder what is the best way communicating with a device? what should a
driver implement so it could get an IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL through the
DeviceIoControl API? should the driver implement a soft link SoftLink so it
could be accessed directly? does the same goes to WDM/MiniPort drivers?

John.

Go read a good driver book, you are asking questions that show you do not
have any of the basics. I recomend "Programming the Windows Driver Model"
by Walter Oney.
