- How determine network itnerface disable status ?
- Posted by Vijay Chegu on September 8th, 2003
Hi all,
I am writing a gui for network adapter config tool like mux example in
DDK.
In my UI i want to determine if any network component is disabled or
not.
i can send an ioctl to the lower interface and get the connect status
but how can i find out disabled / enabled status ?
"Network and dial-up connections" windows is able to show the status
of any netowrk adapter as disabled/connected/network cable unplugged.
how can i get this status ?
This is for win2k and above.
Regards,
Vijay Chegu

CM_Get_DevNode_Status_Ex.
DEVCON sample in the DDK shows how to use this API.

IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS for OID_GEN_MEDIA_CONNECT_STATUS can help.

Right. You won't even be able to open the I/O control interface (file
handle) to the respective disabled adapter, so
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS cannot be used.
Note that "disabled" adapters are fully visible for the INetCfg
interface.
