FWIW, to load on 64bit Windows versions, a driver _does not_ need to go through the WHQL process. It does however, need to be signed by someone the OS trusts* and you _will_ get the message asking whether you trust the manufacturer when you install it. One can of course run the WHQL tests on one's driver - google WLK 1.4 for the latest, though you'll need a separate machine running Windows Server 2003 to do it (I couldn't believe this one either - not XP, not Vista, not 2008 server and no virtual machines allowed). Orin. *a valid Software Publishers Certificate does the trick or see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/kmsigning.mspx for other options.
