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\
(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?
C:\Program Files\nMap>windump -D
1.\Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter (Generic dialup adapter)
2.\Device\NPF_ (Compaq
Ethernet/Fast Ether
net Adapter/Module (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
3.\Device\NPF_ (Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit
Ethernet Driver (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
I use Etherel from time to time and I don't have a major
problem with this.
