Hi All,

I would like generate pseudo-unique 32-bit hash against the DeviceName
of ProtocolBindAdapter. I noticed that the GUID in the path persists
accross suprise removals, and I am guessing will persist across
reboots.

Can I rely on this?

TIA,

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.
