If I get this correctly, the OP haven't developed the PnP driver.
They already asked the vendor for signed driver and received "no way" reply.
What else can they do besides dumpingh that vendor next time.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know, there's nothing stopping anyone from WHQL-ing a driver. All that has to happen is someone has to run the HCT and send the log file and a check (ok, the check has to clear :-).

At least I know many of our customers have WHQL'd our driver without telling us.

Now, if it won't *pass* HCT, that's a different matter, but that should be grounds for firing the vendor anyway.
