Enable network card using devcon
Hi,
I have a few pc's which upon boot up the network card is disabled.
I have been using devcon.exe to enable them at start up which i am doing this:
devcon enable PCI\VEN_8086
now this works but it has a total of 10 devices on this bus, and its the second or third one which gets enabled is the only one I need, as its the network card (aka Name: Intel(R) PRO/100 VM Network Connection)
These are the 10 devices:
F:\Pstools\devcon\i386>dev
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_103B&SUBS
Name: Intel(R) PRO/100 VM Network Connection
Device is disabled.
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_244E&SUBS
Name: Intel(R) 82801BA/CA PCI Bridge - 244E
Driver is running.
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C0&SUBS
Name: Intel(R) 82801DB LPC Interface Controller - 24C0
Driver is running.
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C2&SUBS

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2560&SUBS

Driver is running.
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2562&SUBS
Name: Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
Driver is running.
10 matching device(s) found.
Even by doing:
devcon enable PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_103B&SUBS
still processed the 10 devices...
I have also tried things like:
devcon enable hwids *intel* or *network* etc but that does not work at all.
any ideas?

I tested like this
devcon /status *
The result for my network card :
ROOT\MS_PSCHEDMP\0000
Name: Fujitsu Siemens Computers 82559-based Onboard Ethernet with WoL and Ao
L - Packet Scheduler Miniport
Driver is running.
ROOT\MS_PSCHEDMP\0002
Name: WAN Miniport (IP) - Packet Scheduler Miniport
Driver is running.
To disable or enable i use this command :
devcon /disable MS_PSCHEDMP
devcon /enable MS_PSCHEDMP
No internet access after disabling it.
So it works.

cheers for the suggestions but no luck:
right well does not enable the network card it enables and disables something but its not the actual network card device probably only the device driver or something.
if you check in device manager and disable the network card, try to enable it again by using devcon enable *insert device class id here*
does not do it.
any other suggestions?

devcon classes
you will get a list all the classes installed on your system
devcon listclass <network class name>
you will probably get *only* the NIC
devcon enable <class name> should do the jon (only for the NIC)
