From GUID of WlanEnumInterfaces to hardware id, driver version etc

Question

I am currently using the windows native wifi functions for some stuff. This is a really good abstraction and easy to use for me.

Now i need some more details on the wifi interfaces i get with WlanEnumInterfaces.

Basically i want the information available in the hardware manager, like hardware id, driver version etc.

I don't now how to get from GUID to some lower level identification of the devices and i even do not now which methods are available to query detailed device information.

Looking forward for some help.

Answer 1

Ok easiest way for me is to query the registry:

SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Class\\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Where {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} is the class guid for network adapters. Then i can parse for my GUID in NetCfgInstanceId.
