FindNIC, authored by Harry Bates, will search for all installed
NICs on your Windows computers, even if they are
currently
NOT present.
You can use the search capability to locate specific strings, like wireless or
3COM or 100. If the search finds a
matching NIC, FindNIC can launch a program or script.
When you type FindNIC /?, the Help screen appears:
If you wanted to find all the wireless NICs on your network, you could use
Workstation.bat to run wireless.bat:
Workstation <DomainName> <Account> <Password> WSPD \\Server\ShareName\wireless.bat \\Server\ShareName\wireless.log
which contains:
@echo off
\\Server\ShareName\FindNIC /s=wireless /l=\\Server\ShareName\%computername%.log
NOTE: This utility changes the parameters to upper case. If you used the /R= switch, the invoked program will receive upper case parameters.
NOTE: FindNIC recursively parses HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards.
