multifunction PCMCIA INF

I am trying to create an inf file to be used by our multifunction PCMCIA device. Microsoft has a sample multifunction device INF file on their website, but it is not clear where one can obtain the CRC and product ID string for such an device. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Gary Chen

Just plug it in, then use REGEDIT to see what new key ended up under
ENUM\PCMCIA. I think there might be a tool somewhere, too, but this way
is quick.

BTW, I don’t think it matters that this is a multifunction device,
except perhaps in Louisiana.

It seems Regedit only provide information on PCI vendor, device and revision IDs. How do I view the product ID info, which is supposed to be embedded at some offset in the PCI config space?

There real problem I am trying to solve here is that on Window ME, only first one of our multifunction device would show up in the “Unplug Or Eject Hardware” system tray. We currently have two sets of drivers and infs, one for network driver and another for Bluetooth. Only the network driver is visiable in the tray, and the BlueTooth device does not show up UNLESS we remove the network driver from the tray manually. We also read somewhere that the system PCMCIA.sys driver sometimes only reports the first device it finds to the PNP manager regardless number of multifunction devices found. That’s why we are trying to adopt Microsoft’s mf.sys driver to test our suspecision.

Thanks,

You said PCMCIA the first time. In any case, the DeviceId value in the
hardware key contains the string you need for your INF.
