The network adapter with the lowest bus, device, and function
number is the first listed (NIC0 - zero based). If the bus, device,
and function information cannot be determined for a network
adapter, it is enumerated in the order it is detected.
When configuring multiple network adapters, ensure that one
network adapter is not using an Intel Universal NIC driver
(commonly called UNDI driver) to connect to Deployment Server.
If one network adapter uses the native driver and one uses an
UNDI driver, your computer appears twice in the console.
Add. Enter new settings for additional network adapters
installed on the client computer.
You can add "virtual" network adapter settings to send a job
to a computer group containing computers with varying
numbers of network adapters. If a computer in the group has
only one network adapter, it is configured only with the IP
settings listed first. If IP settings are provided for additional
network adapters not present in the computer, they are
disregarded.
If you add a new network adapter, the Remove button
appears. You can remove the new network adapter by clicking
Remove.
