Thanks for pointing out. But currenlty I am thing i can first get the adaptor information and then can see if it is ethernet adaptor or not.. but how to find whether it' is ethernet adapter or wirless adaptor or any other.. Is there any way to get from this adaptor that it is 802.3 standard adaptor or 802.11 for wirless. Thanks in advance.

Again, WMI and the Win32_NetworkAdapter class. You can get the configurations with the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class. Search for those two classes on MSDN.

2006, 2007Thanks, Yes I have been working on this still it does not say media type.. I want to find out specific difference between ehternet adapter card and wirless ethernet card... mean to say in my machin if i have lot's of types of adapter installed and I want only ethernet specific adaptors. I am looking into currently DeviceIoControl..

Apparently "MediaType" is all you looked for. It's the
AdapterTypefield in the Win32_NetworkAdapter class.Sonani Prakash wrote:

You're wasting your time.

2006, 2007See the problem is AdapterType field is not showing me seperation of wirless card and ethernet network adatper card. second thing is Media type into registry is only supported for XP OS it's not there even for vista also... That's y still struggling in finding no. of ehternet network card adapter(this should not be wirless ethernet card or dialup card or any othercard..) I want it should support 802.3 stadards..

Yes, it does. The possible values for AdapterType are (taken straight out of the documentation!): "Ethernet 802.3" "Token Ring 802.5" "Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)" "Wide Area Network (WAN)" "LocalTalk" "Ethernet using DIX header format" "ARCNET" "ARCNET (878.2)" "ATM" "Wireless" "Infrared Wireless" "Bpc" "CoWan" "1394" Now, if your network adapter does NOT put the correct adapter type into the WMI Provider, it's the fault of your cards manufacturer.

It's amazing how people don't even take the time to do a little investigation :O It'd take a couple of minutes at most to find out what was needed even from my threadbare answer of 'WMI' :/
<shrug>I know! :confused:</shrug>
