One cannot be sure, that the interfaces are typed correctly. Although the code is looking for ethernet only, a adapter that identifies as an ethernet adapter will also trigger the true condition. We find such ugly incomplete incorrect implementations often, but this is not part of the code and discussion here. regards and thanks for the comment Josef Yes, you are right.

I would not be surprised to find that the Wi-Fi NIC is also classified as an ethernet adapter in that API; it is in several others. So, isEnetAlive may tell you that Ethernet is alive when the terminal is un-docked but has a Wi-Fi connection.
