Win2K device driver wizard doesn't find the device names in my INF file

I have an installable network device driver that is working fine, but
there must be a problem with the INF file. If I choose a specific
driver for Windows 2000 to install, and click Have Disk, I get no
devices listed.

If I let windows do it, there's no problem. If the driver is already
installed, the device choices show up in the list. (not very useful at
that point!) The INF looks correct and complete.

How can I tell why Win2K is rejecting this as matching hardware, only
in this one scenario? How do I start to debug?

First have you run ChkInf on your INF file, you should do this and fix all
the errors and warnings it reports. Second, have you tried this install
with logging on? See "Setting SetupAPI Logging Levels" in the DDK docs for
how to do this. Turn on all the logging and try your different scenarios.
