Your registry path is ok, coLinux use this as NETWORK_CONNECTIONS_KEY.
Think, you can not get it by registry only.  This are the names only, 
not the connection state.

See into source of coLinux 
src/colinux/os/winnt/user/conet-bridged-daemon/main.c
The function "pcap_init" does search a connected interfaces, if no name 
was given.

See also the function 'GetInterfaceInfo' on MSDN and the return as 
IP_INTERFACE_INFO->Adapter[i].Name
