Well, i watched for a while. Seems like your code is entirely exact what
is needed for determining the list of local interfaces. I guess my windoze
installation is rather wrong than the above function... it crashes when i
want to "dial up". My try was to exchange the enumarations in
"HKLM...\\Class\\Net" and i got the result i wanted. After this the
Network Setup swapped the devices *sigh*, but using a RegMon i really
could not detect it accessing the registry keys i changed. Thus i do not
know what's actually wrong. My guess: my windoze installation is busted.

Hm. Until now i was not aware that you are reinventing the wheel. Great
job done so far...
