Determine if the Platform has a Wireless Interface

The following steps describe how to examine the capabilities of the Ethernet ports of the platform to see if there is a wireless interface on the platform.

Note:

Starting with Intel AMT Release 7.0., a desktop platform can have a wireless interface. This use case applies to those platforms as well.

1. Enumerate the instances of CIM_EthernetPort.

2. If there is an instance of CIM_EthernetPort with a DeviceID equal to “Intel(r) AMT Ethernet Port 1”, the port is a wireless interface.

$portIsWirelessInterface =$false

foreach($ethernetPortItem in$wsmanConnectionObject.NewReference("SELECT * FROM CIM_EthernetPort").Enumerate())

{

$deviceID =$ethernetPortItem.Object.GetProperty("DeviceID")

if($deviceID -like "Intel(r) AMT Ethernet Port 1")

{

$portIsWirelessInterface =$true

break

}
