Here is the full traceback:

Basically, it parses a list of hosts from a CSV, outputs a series of lines:
host, driverDesc, diverDate, driverVersion.  Basically it pings the host
first to make sure its up.

Here are the relevant parts to the script:

[code]
 registry = wmi.WMI(host, namespace="default").StdRegProv
        _, names = registry.EnumKey(HKLM,NICs)
        print("Connected successfully.")
        try:
            for name in names:
                print name
                NIC = NICs + "\\" + name
                _, value_names, value_types = registry.EnumValues(HKLM, NIC)
                for value_name, value_type in zip(value_names, value_types):
                    if value_type == winreg.REG_SZ:
                        if value_name == "BusType":
                            _, busType = registry.GetStringValue(HKLM,
NICs, value_name)
                        elif value_name == "DriverDesc":
                            _, driverDesc = registry.GetStringValue(HKLM,
NICs, value_name)
                        elif value_name == "DriverDate":
                            _, driverDate = registry.GetStringValue(HKLM,
NICs, value_name)
                        elif value_name == "DriverVersion":
                            _, driverVersion =
registry.GetStringValue(HKLM, NICs, value_name)
                    if busType == 5:
                        outputline = host + "," + driverDesc + "," +
driverDate + "," + driverVersion + "\n"
                        print outputline
                        outputFile.write(outputLine)
        except:
            print "Unable to query registry key for NIC adapters"
[/code]

Thanks again.
