I am using this code to detect network adapters:
(Get-NetAdapter).InterfaceDescription
The problem with this code is that it detects all network adapters (including Wi-Fi and virtual adapters by VMware).
I just want to detect the ethernet adapters installed in the device.
Could PowerShell do this at all?
(Get-NetAdapter -Physical | Where-Object {$_.PhysicalMediaType -eq "802.3"}).InterfaceDescription
Will get all physical network adapters having PhysicalMediaType 802.3 (Ethernet).
Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object {$_.InterfaceDescription -match "Ethernet"}
This will show onboard ethernet adapters as well as docking station/USB Ethernet adapters.
