Description
Now that we have multi-NDIS support for Npcap, it is much easier to support newer Windows NDIS versions. Npcap Version 1.82 supports up to NDIS 6.85, but 6.89 includes some cool features like URO and there may be even newer NDIS versions by the time the next Npcap comes out. One challenge is that newer WDKs that support those NDIS versions may prevent us from building x86 drivers, so we might need to have separate build systems again.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing multi-NDIS support and the current Npcap 1.82 driver build setup. Check which WDK versions provide NDIS 6.89 or newer and whether they can still build x86 drivers. Done means the supported NDIS version is raised to 6.89 or the latest available, with any necessary separate build systems working.
