Dell Intel PRO Family of Adapters - Manual (Page 40)

devices configure.
This is equivalent to
IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnumAsync.
Enumerate all PCI
devices used by
Intel® PROSet
configured
adapters.
SELECT * FROM
IANet_EthernetPCIDevice
IANet_EthernetPCIDevice The query returns just the PCI devices that
Intel® PROSet manages.
This is equivalent to
IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnumAsync.
Determine if
adapter is
installed.
N/A IANet_EthernetPCIDevice Check the “Availability” attribute of
IANet_EthernetPCIDevice. If equal to 10 -
“Not Installed”, then the device is not
installed. Note: Not much information is
known about the device at this stage.
Get the PCI Device
associated with an
adapter
ASSOCIATORS OF {
IANet_EthernetAdapter
path} WHERE ResultClass =
IANet_EthernetPCIDevice
IANet_EthernetPCIDevice If this returns no objects, then the adapter
is either virtual or a phantom adapter.
Get the adapter
associated with a
PCI device
ASSOCIATORS OF {Ethernet
PCI device path} WHERE
ResultClass =
IANet_EthernetAdapter
IANet_EthernetAdapter This query is not optimal for the Provider –
it is preferred that the client starts with the
adapter.

Getting the Adapter Settings
The setting objects are not associated with the adapter directly. In conformance with the CIM standard, they are associated
with a configuration object, which is associated with the adapter.
The classes involved with this part of the schema are IANet_EthernetAdapter, IANet_Configuration, IANet_SettingInt,
IANet_SettingString, IANet_SettingEnum, IANet_SettingMultiSelection and IANetSettingSlider.
The association classes IANet_AdapterConfiguration and IANet_SettingContext do not contain any real data - they act as glue
between the settings and their parent object.
Task WQL Queries Result Class Comments
Get the
Configuration
object for
the adapter
ASSOCIATORS OF
{IANet_EthernetAdapter
path} WHERE ResultClass
= IANet_Configuration
IANet_Configuration Returns exactly one object; even if there are
no settings there will always be a configuration
object. The object path from this object is
used in the next query.
Get the
settings
associated
with an
adapter
ASSOCIATORS OF
{IANet_Configuration
path} WHERE AssocClass
= IANet_SettingContext
A mixture of
IANet_SettingInt,
IANet_SettingString,
IANet_SettingEnum,
IANet_SettingMultiSelection,
IANet_SettingSlider
Returns all the setting classes associated with
the adapter. The client should use the
__CLASS attribute to determine that type of
each setting.

Getting the Team Configuration
The main classes in the teaming schema are IANet_EthernetAdapter, IANet_TeamOfAdapters, IANet_NetworkVirtualAdapter
and IANet_TeamedMemberAdapter.
The challenge in this schema is that an instance of IANet_EthernetAdapter exists for each physical adapter and for each
virtual adapter. The client must be capable of distinguishing between the virtual adapter for a team and the adapters that are
