how to find out the device class type?

Hi All,

Is there any way to find out any device to which class it belongs to, before writing any drivers on windows?
Whether the device does not cross check with the Classcode of PCI configuration space?
B’cos say if i write a driver assuming that it is NetworkInterfaceCard & implement using NDIS & later if it is of some other class,then it will be difficult.So is there anyway to find out before implementing the driver…
any suggestion is appreciated…

Thanks in advance…

If u dont want windows to search for standard drivers as per the class code
for your device ( in the absence of your driver ) you can choose ‘Other’
category…
But this sounds childish…
