!ndiskd.netadapter
The !ndiskd.netadapter extension displays information about NDIS miniports, or network adapters, that are active on the system. If you run this command with no parameters, !ndiskd will display a list of all network adapters.

Examples
By running !ndiskd.netadapter with no parameters, you can get a list of all network adapters on the system along with their associated miniport drivers. In this example output, look for the Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter, whose handle is ffffdf80140c71a0. For more information about what the Kernel Debug Network Adapter is, see Kernel debugging over the network on the NDIS blog.

ffffdf801418d650 ffffdf80140c71a0 Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter
By clicking on the handle for the miniport driver or entering the !ndiskd.netadapter -handle, you can now see all of NDIS's state on that device. This can be helpful very as a starting place for troubleshooting a network driver or for figuring out where an issue is in the network stack. For example, you can see the Datapath state for the driver and see whether it is connected or not.
At the bottom of the report for this net adapter, there are many other links you can click on to explore further information, such as any pending OIDs and the state of task offloads. These links correspond to many of the parameters for !ndiskd.netadapter.

Diagnostic log
As example of using !ndiskd.netadapter as a starting place for further debugging, click on the "Driver handlers" link at the bottom of the report to see a list of all registered driver callback handlers for this net adapter's miniport driver. In the following example, clicking the link causes !ndiskd to run the !ndiskd.minidriver extension with the handle of this net adapter's miniport driver. The miniport driver is the kdnic 4.2 and its handle is ffffdf801418d650.
