Creates an Ethernet port object.

Use the Ethernet port object to configure the properties of an Ethernet port of the hardware.

Note that the lifetime of the created object is not related to the state of the actual Ethernet interface. Also note that the created Ethernet port object does not have exclusive control over the Ethernet port hardware. This means, for example, that the Ethernet port interface may already be "up" and running when this method returns. Or that the properties of the created object may report changed events that were not instigated via its property setters.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Returns a reference to a currently active Ethernet port object held by the Comm Card, or null if no currently active Ethernet port object exists for the given index.

An active Ethernet port will only exist if CreateEthernetPort(Int32) has been called previously.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Dispose any outstanding Ethernet ports.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.
