W2K: Hardware-ID for NDIS 5.0 NIC installation

NTDEV
1

I am trying to use W2K DDK samples: src\general\setup(Install, Remove,
Enable) to install an NDIS 5.0 NIC I have a perfrectly working INF. The
install sample reequires the INF and a Hardware-ID. I am puzzled. The DDK
documentation does not say that much on this. What is Hardware ID for an
NDIS 5.0 NIC card?

Thanks for any input,

PCMCIA card
USB adapter
PCI card
ISA PnP card

all this cards have a unique ID and your INF is started when you plug
in this type of cards.

Hi,

Can u send the inf file.This is because i feel that the Device ID which u
give inside the INF file may be the hardware ID. Please send the inf file
so that i can go through it.

It may be the ClassGUID also.
Say for Eg: if you are developing a NDIS5.0 ether net adapter miniport
driver then it falls in a PCI category which has a specific class ID.
This is given in the documentation.
FOr PCI it is
ClassGUID = {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
