Command/Powershell script to reset a network adapter
You can use WMI from within PowerShell to accomplish this. Assuming there is a network adapter who's device name has Wireless in it, the series of commands might look something like the following:
$adaptor = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*Wireless*"}$adaptor.Disable()$adaptor.Enable()Remember, if you're running this with Window's Vista, you may need to run the PowerShell as Administrator.
Zitrax's answer:
netsh interface set interface "InterfaceName" DISABLEDnetsh interface set interface "InterfaceName" ENABLEDwas 99% of what I was looking for. The one piece of information that s/he left out, though, was that these commands have to be run as an administrator. Either run cmd.exe as an admin and type them in, or store them in a batch file, and then run that file as admin by right clicking on it and choosing "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.
