    HardwareID = MAC address? For MoBo and USB devices? Find out model?


    Just to clarify my point of view:

    The hardwareID is not (never) equal to the MAC address
    Even not for network cards.
    is that correct?

    Is there a way to find out the
    - vendor
    - model name
    for a given hardwareID?

    Let's take two examples:

    USB\VID_0483&PID_7554&REV_0210
    or
    USB\VID_0572&PID_1329&REV_0100

    Is there a public available web catalog for such hardwareIDs?

    I found that just doing a google for the hardware Id seems to work.
