Is Rawether a “NDIS intermediate driver”?

No, the Rawether PCANDIS# drivers are “ordinary” NDIS protocol drivers. An NDIS intermediate driver is a type of NDIS driver that can be layered on top of an actual NDIS media access controller (MAC) driver and below NDIS protocol drivers such as TCP/IP. In this “intermediate” position the driver can modify the data passed up or down the network protocol stack to perform functions such as encryption, compression, etc. NDIS intermediate drivers can only be used on platforms that support NDIS 4.X and higher, which Microsoft provides (inconsistently) only on Windows 95 OSR2 and later, Windows 98, Windows Millennium and Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and later and Windows 2000.
