Referring to your other question, on the assumption that you're trying to
decide if you should disable an adapter or not, no, that's not how it would
do that. If you search the archives, using GoogleGroups to target
"microsoft.public.windowsce.*", you'll see my take on "disable network
adapter", which boils down to "set flag in registry entry for the adapter
you want to disable that corresponds to 'disabled'" followed by "tell NDIS
to turn off the power", and "unbind the adapter".
