Hi All,
I am trying to access a PCI driver so that I can send IOCTL commands to it.
I donot have the Device name for it and the registry also does not have it.
Is there a way to either get the device name or to get hold of the File
Object and Device Object so that I can make IOCTL calls to the card.
Thanks
Shankar Agarwal

OSR's DeviceTree utility should enable you to get the device name,
assuming it has one.
