| Has anyone used the wmi.py module to access device drivers 
| info.I want to make sure that it works before i try use it. 
| I am trying to use it to get MSNdis class info.

The simplest answer is: this is Python -- just try it.
More specifically, since I have no knowledge at all of
MSNdis classes, and a quick Google doesn't enlighten me
tons, can you give an example of VBS-type code which does
what you want?

The WMI module simply wraps Win32 COM functionality, so
anything should be possible. The sort of things which aren't
so obvious / so well covered by my list of examples tend
to be things which require slightly unusual use of namespaces,
specific monikers etc.

[... pause for experimentation ...]

OK. Seems to work. Try this:

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI (namespace="WMI")
print [i for i in c.classes if i.startswith ("MSNdis")]

for i in c.MSNdis_LinkSpeed (): # whatever that is (!)
  print i

</code>
