Actually, I would prefer to take a hash of AdapterInstanceName of
NdisQueryAdapterInstanceName.
Is it guranteed to be unique amond devices installed?
Also, just out of curiosity, I would be interested in knowing the
typical string pattern for AdapterInstanceName generated for a
plurality of near-identical devices simultaneously installed, for
example, in the case of a quad-port gigabit Ethernet adapter.
