Abstract

An information handling system includes a management controller, which in turn includes a device access manager. The device access manager detects a new device within the information handling system, and performs a matching process between properties of the new device and matching criteria for a plurality of drivers in the information handling system. The device access manager also receives matching values from each of the plurality of drivers, and selects one of the drivers in response to the one driver having a highest matching value. The matching process for a driver is ended without a matching value being returned to the device access manager in response to a property of the new device not matching a corresponding matching criteria of the driver.
