The code itterates through the Network Interfaces in the order they occur in the Windows Registry. Matching the first one that it finds that partially matches. The only improvement to this code would be to: 1) Read all the interfaces of the registry, order them, then do the partial match. 2) Store all partial matches, instead of going with the first one, then iterate all partial matches for an exact match, if not exact match can be found, then go with the first one.
