I have a miniport driver for a NIC and want this to be enumerated by

Install your miniport for a ROOT enumerated device. ROOT is the bus that handles virtual devices or devices, such as ISA devices, which the system cannot interrogate. Check out the \WINDDK\3790.1184\src\network\ndis\netvmini virtual miniport sample in a late model DDK.
