Can I Load NDIS 3.0 “Full NIC” Drivers on Windows 2000?
Legacy or full NIC NDIS MAC drivers are NDIS MAC drivers that comply with NDIS 3.0. It is possible to load NDIS 3.0 NDIS MAC drivers (and make them work) on Windows 2000, but Windows 2000 is the last release that it will support them. Microsoft is killing Full NIC driver support after Windows 2000.
