JSI Tip 1957. Strange characters when displaying network adapters?

If you don't have a supported NIC installed, either from the NT CDROM or a third party, or if there is a null entry in Oemnadx.inf, the subject behavior will occur.

[n] 3Com Fast EtherLink Server NIC

Description is a string value name that contains additional descriptive information, like:

10/100Mb PCI
