Generating a unique device ID

[Jono Bacon]

Hi all,

It seems fairly common knowledge that a device ID is non-unique, but I 
have been wondering how to determine a unique ID for a device. We will 
need this ID to be able to send FDI files back and forth over the net.

My first assumption that a combination of the device ID and the 
class/name could be an option. Is anyone aware of a way of generating a 
unique ID the information that HAL can give us?
