A driver can specify compatibility or incompatibility with other drivers in the system by specifying lists of device IDs. These can specify required or excluded devices. The following list shows the registry entries for specifying compatibility with other devices. A device is a Plug and Play device ID; a device list is a comma-separated list of device IDs. (Note that for non-hardware devices, the Plug and Play device ID is either the NDIS logical driver name or the base file name of the VxD or driver.)

Ndi\Compatibility | RequireAny | device list | At least one of the devices in device list must be present in the network system. |
