The only thing the WDM drivers are for is for Video Capturing. If that card doesn't have Video In, then you won't be needing the WDM drivers at all. That may explain why the drivers are not showing up in Device Manager. (Although, it really should tell you during the installation process that the hardware cannot be found.)
At any rate, you definitely do need to determine if your card does have Video Capture capability. If not, you can forget the WDM drivers.
