Class CIM_NetworkAdapter
extends CIM_LogicalDevice

Note: The use of the CIM_NetworkAdpater class has been deprecated in lieu of CIM_NetworkPort. CIM_NetworkPort better reflects that the hardware of a single port is described and managed. Deprecated description: NetworkAdapter is an Abstract class that defines general networking hardware concepts (for example, PermanentAddress or Speed of operation).

AutoSenseboolean
DeprecatedstringCIM_NetworkPort.AutoSense
DescriptionstringNote: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A Boolean that indicates whether the NetworkAdapter is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
FullDuplexboolean
DeprecatedstringCIM_NetworkPort.FullDuplex
DescriptionstringNote: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A Boolean that indicates that the Adapter is operating in full duplex mode.

PermanentAddressstring
DeprecatedstringCIM_NetworkPort.PermanentAddress
DescriptionstringNote: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: PermanentAddress defines the network address that is hardcoded into an adapter. This 'hardcoded' address might be changed through a firmware upgrade or software configuration. If so, this field should be updated when the change is made. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no 'hardcoded' address exists for the NetworkAdapter.
