Duh…

That should work. I think we overlooked it because of the way the OP stated
the question.

Thanks for pointing it out!

What about the way I suggested, of trying to check Compatible IDs, and
see if the queried adapter has PCI\CC_028000 or PCI\CC_020000 in its
list? Could you please chime in on the practicality/consistency of
such an approach?

It should be clear, I hope, that this works only if the adapter is a PCI
card. A USB wireless adapter won’t have a PCI class code at all.
