When I use windump OR Ethereal I see an adaptor description
that allows me to identify the correct adaptor. I have one Intel
and one Compaq.
Also:-
The registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{554899B0-FAF8-4DFE-9ED2-D0562FFC22AB}
(in my case) contains all of the configuration details for the
interface including
the IP address which will allow you to unambiguously identify the
adaptor.
Clearly if you needed to do this a lot you would want a better tool.
It MUST I guess be possible to set the description somewhere?
