And I rechecked the MSDN about OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE (see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff569607(v=vs.85).aspx), it said "*As a query, the OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE OID specifies a complete list of the media types that the NIC currently uses.*". So I think that in Microsoft' point of view, "multiple" media can be in use at a given time (this looks weird for me too). But in practice, I didn't see "multiple" media are ever returned on the OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE or OID_GEN_MEDIA_SUPPORTED request. Cheers, Yang
