Hi all,

I have kind of simple command line application that scans particular
USB devices connected to the box and prints some information about
them. I'm interested only in USBSTORAGE devices (Disk-on-key, External
HDD and DVD, etc) and USB Wireless network cards. I deliberately don't
use USB scanners available on the Inet, because I would like to get
very specific devices, mentioned by device interface guid.

Well, I am pretty sure regarding usb storage devices (SetupDiXXX
functions do great job) but wireless LAN adapter is still an issue for
me. I guess I can use network cards device interface in order to get
all available devices, but I need somehow to detect USB one and keep
it in result set. That's why I will be very appreciate for help, kind
of tip or guidelines how to achieve desired functionality.

Thanks,

Andrey

The same way as for storage doesn't work for netcards? why?
You can find it either by the hw ID (begins with USB\), or track the device to its parent, which will be some USB hub.


Good luck,
