Command only listing active NIC?

[emos]

Hi,

I'm trying to put to gather a script that search for a specific Network Adapter Name. But what ever i do only my Wireless card is the only adapter name i can get going.
I'm i using "find" incorrect?

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f "skip=3 tokens=1,2,3* delims= " %%a in ('netsh interface show interface ^|find /v "Ethernet"') do  Set AdapterName=%%d
if %AdapterName%=="Ethernet" (GOTO BEGIN) Else (GOTO SELECT_NIC)
	
	
	
:%%a = Status
:%%b = Connection status
:%%c = Type?
:%%d = Interface name

:BEGIN
echo You made it

:SELECT_NIC
echo **ERROR**
echo Could not find adapter name
echo.
echo %AdapterName%
pause

This is how I would approach the query;

Code: Select all

WMIC.EXE Path Win32_NetworkAdapter Get /FORMAT:CSV | findstr /c:"Ethernet"

For example; to find the D-Link Adapter on my system;

Code: Select all

WMIC.EXE Path Win32_NetworkAdapter Get /FORMAT:CSV | findstr /c:"D-Link DWA-525 Wireless N 150 Desktop Adapter(rev.A2)"

For more info and examples for WMIC.EXE, visit https://ss64.com/nt/wmic.html

WMIGen.exe will generate Batch code for menu selected WMI queries.

I have a script that does just that: ipcfg.bat, part of my System Tools Library

ipcfg.bat has lots of options. But the idea is to select only "interesting" network information.
By default, it outputs just the information for the active NICs, as you're trying to do.
Examples:

Code: Select all

C:\JFL\Temp>ipcfg -l
Ethernet 2
Ethernet 5
LAN
Local Area Connection* 5
Local Area Connection* 7
VirtualBox Host-Only Network
Wi-Fi

C:\JFL\Temp>ipcfg LAN
Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : emea.hpqcorp.net
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4dc9:e55f:cc0a:950e%7
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.38.145.38
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.38.144.1
