New Windbg version releasedI am currently developing a driver for a customers pci board
which has a couple of bridges that appear when the HW is
inserted in the computer. My question is there anyway to
indicate in the INF file that these devices should be ignored
since they need no driver, and preferrably be hidden so they
do show in the Device Manager?

Don,
You can setup your inf file to install nothing for the bridges that you
don’t want drivers for. To do this you just go through the motions as if you
were installing a driver:
[Manufacturer]
%DON_BURN_CO%=DON_BURN
[DON_BURN]
%BURN_BRIDGES%= NULL_DRIVER, PCI\VEN_1234&DEV_1234&SUBSYS_12345678
[NULL_DRIVER]
; nothing here!
[NULL_DRIVER.Services]
AddService = , 0x00000002 ; note the comma before the 0x00000002 -
that’s a null service!
To not be displayed in Device Manager, your setup class has to have the
“NoDisplayClass” bit set.
