I doubt TCP/IP won't work *locally* if no cable is plugged in to the
network card(s), i.e. "localhost" (127.0.0.1) should always be
available. Thus, the following command should always work:

ping localhost

Also, network card drivers (i.e. NDIS miniport drivers) do not call
AddDevice() and alike. The NDIS Wrapper library (ndis.sys) takes care
of any driver loading issues.
