The system network interfaces you get access to are ones that are
"active"
You should not have to worry about identifying "connected and
operational" interfaces as I believe that's all you see.
That's what I thought, but my G4 desktop with both Ethernet and
FireWire active as network devices causes RB apps in Windows XP SP2
in VPC7 to show the Ethernet device normally, and the FireWire device
with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0
Not to say that VPC is at all perfect, but it's nice to dream.
Realistically, I believe that this behavior is likely to be caused by
VPC not being able to translate FireWire into something that Windows
can understand without Windows having FireWire drivers for itself.
