Enabling a network adapter in the registry won't activate
the adapter unless you reboot the machine. To do it on
the fly, use devcon.exe instead, e.g. like so:

devcon enable "PCI\CC_0200"

To find out the name of your adapter, use this command:

devcon hwdis "*" > c:\devices.txt

then look for your adapter in devices.txt and select one
of the listed names.

You can get devcon.exe from here:
