how to get device id or whatever unique for every device?

Hi

Does anybody have any idea to recognize devices uniquely?
KernelIoControl () works with some devices but not all.
I think there should be some kind of id which can apply to every device like
MAC address for Ethernet devices.

If anybody knows, please reply.

Do a search on IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.

I've already read that article and tested, but IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICEID or
IOCTL_HAL_GET_UUID does not always work for all devices.

I was searching web and found a program called PocketPCID from
http://www.selectiveminds.com

It shows CPU serial #, so there should be some way to get CPU serial # but I
cannot find any API or method which returns CPU serial # of PPC device.

Does anybody knows how to do it?
