ERROR_NDIS_BAD_VERSION

ERROR_NDIS_BAD_VERSION The caller supplied a version that the target NDIS component does not support. This is a contract mismatch between the structure or interface expected by the driver and the version actually passed.

What to check

Check the Header.Type, Header.Revision, Header.Size, and NDIS version requirements for the structure used by the request.
Do not infer support from the Windows version alone; verify the capability exposed by the specific miniport or filter.
For a driver update, rebuild against the intended WDK and test against the oldest supported NDIS version.
