It is correct that devices that are submitted through the unclassified
submission cannot use WLP artwork. But my understanding is that the
unclassified program is only for devices that do not fall under any of the more
specific categories.

"If you do not see a category for your device, you can still get your driver
signed through the Unclassified category. Devices and drivers that are
submitted through the Unclassified category are not eligible to use any of the
Windows Logo Program logo artwork. For more information about the logo
requirements for each category, see the Requirements and Policies."

"You cannot obtain a logo qualification for a WaveCyclic- or a WavePci -based
audio driver"
So is it not possible for us to get windows logo signature for our driver? I am
a little doubtful because I see some postings on this list where people have
written their driver using wavecyclic and they are running DTM tests for WHQL
testing.
You have made the very common mistake of thinking that "WHQL == logo". That's
not true. The logo program is a superset of the WHQL signature process. You
can certainly run your WaveCyclic driver through DTM and submit it for a WHQL
signature in the unclassified category. You just can't get the legal right to
use the Windows logo on your packaging.
