I have a built-in Linux device that communicates with Windows 7 via Ethernet via USB using a driver g_etherin Linux. I am trying to change the example file linux.infin the kernel source to src/Documentation/usb/make my device appear in the Windows Network Connections dialog box as something other than Local Area Connection 2.
I just changed the part of the [strings]file linux.infto specify a custom string that appears as a substring in the main heading of "Local Area Connection 2".
I don’t know how to make my device say, for example, “Phils Device” instead of “Local Area Connection 2”. I would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on how to do this! Thank -
Porting an example .inf file that I changed:
[Strings]
Company = "Phil"
CompanyDevice = "Phils Device"
Vista_Property = "Phils Device"
ServiceDisplayName = "Phils Device Driver"
