Are you targeting Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012?  You don't need anything from here!  These operating systems already include all the TMFs you'll need in the PDB from the Microsoft Symbol Server.

For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, here is a copy of the TMF decoders for NDIS.SYS:

NDIS traces messages at the following verbosity levels

Level Name Description
1 Severe errors NDIS doesn't use this level much. It's mostly interchangeable with the Errors level.
2 Errors An error that will definitely cause something to break. Example: miniport installation will fail because a registry key is missing.
3 Warnings An unusual condition that might need fixing. Example: miniport indicated a malformed status indication, and NDIS dropped it.
4 Info Informational messages. Example: miniport is going into low power mode now.
5 Verbose NDIS doesn't use this level much. It's reserved for a few messages that aren't usually useful
