W2K: Hardware-ID for NDIS 5.0 NIC installation

OSR_Community_UserOSR_Community_User Member Posts: 110,217
I am trying to use W2K DDK samples: src\general\setup\(Install, Remove,
Enable) to install an NDIS 5.0 NIC I have a perfrectly working INF. The
install sample reequires the INF and a Hardware-ID. I am puzzled. The DDK
documentation does not say that much on this. What is Hardware ID for an
NDIS 5.0 NIC card?

Thanks for any input,

    PCMCIA card
    USB adapter
    PCI card
    ISA PnP card

    all this cards have a unique ID and your INF is started when you plug
    in this type of cards.

    Hi,

    Can u send the inf file.This is because i feel that the Device ID which u
    give inside the INF file may be the hardware ID. Please send the inf file
    so that i can go through it.

    Regards,

    It may be the ClassGUID also.
    Say for Eg: if you are developing a NDIS5.0 ether net adapter miniport
    driver then it falls in a PCI category which has a specific class ID.
    This is given in the documentation.
    FOr PCI it is
    ClassGUID = {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
