I have a few pc's which upon boot up the network card is disabled.

I have been using devcon.exe to enable them at start up which i am doing this:

devcon enable PCI\VEN_8086

now this works but it has a total of 10 devices on this bus, and its the second or third one which gets enabled is the only one I need, as its the network card (aka Name: Intel(R) PRO/100 VM Network Connection)

These are the 10 devices:

F:\Pstools\devcon\i386>devcon.exe status PCI\VEN_8086

10 matching device(s) found.


Even by doing:

devcon enable PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_103B&SUBSYS_00120E11&REV_81\4&252 96D99&0&40F0

still processed the 10 devices...

I have also tried things like:

devcon enable hwids *intel* or *network* etc but that does not work at all.

any ideas?

I think you have to do with this.
wait...

OK found.
Add the class before the ID.
This one disable just the NIC :

devcon /disable =net PCI\VEN_8086
