I don't think this will work out in the general case. Some devices have properties which can be used for that, i.e. network cards have a mac address (no attribute yet but I expect it will come some day). Not every device class has specific properties you can use to identify them though. How would you identify a sound card for example?
Plus there's no reason why a device can't implement multiple "classes" of device.
Hmm, good point. How about using a bitmap then? cheers, Gerd
