This book talks mainly about ndis2 which is almost good to be kept in a museum.No useful information.Not worth the money.

This book is general review of all the network device drivers. Its not worth for its money, not useful for advanced programmers. It gives an over view. Never try this book.

The previous reviews are too hard. The book provides a good introduction to network device drivers for those people who no nothing about the subject. While it does talk about NDIS 2 and NDIS 3, it provides good background information about the NDIS model and its development. While it does talk about older networking implementations on DOS, OS/2, and UNIX for example, it does demonstrate how the OSI model is implemented in these different environments. This is the books strength, not its weakness.

One thing that I think is ridiculous is the price: [$$$] is too .... [$$$] is more like it. Buy a used copy if you want to understand the basic networking models of the aforementioned
systems.

This book is not for advanced programmers. It gives an overview of the network device drivers. Lacks examples. Might be useful for beginners. Not worth of buying.
