c#, ethernet, nic, windows-server-2008-r2

Solution

Something like this?

public static void ShowInterfaceSummary()

{

NetworkInterface[] interfaces = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in interfaces)
{                
    Console.WriteLine ("Name: {0}", adapter.Name);
    Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
    Console.WriteLine(String.Empty.PadLeft(adapter.Description.Length,'='));
    Console.WriteLine("  Interface type .......................... : {0}", adapter.NetworkInterfaceType);
    Console.WriteLine("  Operational status ...................... : {0}", 
        adapter.OperationalStatus);
    string versions ="";

    // Create a display string for the supported IP versions.
    if (adapter.Supports(NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv4))
    {
         versions = "IPv4";
     }
    if (adapter.Supports(NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv6))
    {
        if (versions.Length > 0)
        {
            versions += " ";
         }
        versions += "IPv6";
    }
    Console.WriteLine("  IP version .............................. : {0}", versions);
    Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.WriteLine();

}
