Do you have plans to make a NDIS 6 version?

According to the following link, NDIS 6 offers different possibilities for performance optimization and other features. NDIS 6 is required in order to obtain a WHQL certification.

According to this link, NDIS 6 is required if you want the driver to run on Windows RT:

AFAIK the NDIS 6 driver won't run on Windows XP. But Windows XP will stop receiving security updates in 2013, so the old NDIS 5 driver will not have to be maintained for a long time.
