Mark,
You may also want to take a look at SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/install/hh/install/di-rtns_1fd59eb7-0934-4747-9a0e-81dac96c23ef.xml.asp).
It is basically used by NDIS (IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS) and others to enumerate the GUID_NDIS_LAN_CLASS device interfaces on
Win2k and later versions.
I suppose you could write your own little app to see how the interfaces get enumerated and then you get more info about the issue on
your devices.
