Getting the Boot Agent Settings
The client does not need to get a session handle to read the current configuration. Clients can use a NULL context, however,
any error messages will be returned in the default language for the managed machine. In the following table, items enclosed
in { } are object paths. These paths are assumed to have been obtained from previous WQL queries. The client should never
need to construct an object path without doing a query. The __PATH attribute of every object contains the object path for
that object.
In all the following use cases, the methods IWbemServices::ExecQuery or IWbemServices::ExecQueryAsync are used
to execute WQL queries.

SELECT * FROM
IANet_EthernetAdapter
IANet_EthernetAdapter Returns all IANet_EthernetAdapters.
This is equivalent to
IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnumAsync.

IANet_TeamOfAdapters If the query results in no classes then the

adapter
ASSOCIATORS OF {adapter

IANet_EthernetPCIDevice
IANet_EthernetPCIDevice If the adapter is not virtual and this query
returns no objects then the adapter is a
phantom adapter.
The main class for the adapters is IANet_EthernetAdapter. This class is used for both physical and virtual adapters, and the
client needs to know how to distinguish between them.

Getting the PCI Devices
The main classes are IANet_EthernetPCIDevice, IANet_PCIDevice, and IANet_AdapterDevice (an association class to associate
an adapter with its device).
In this case, the association class does not contain any data, i.e., it has no value by itself. IANet_EthernetPCIDevice inherits
from IANet_PCIDevice and contains extra attributes that are specific for a PCI device that is an Ethernet adapter.
