I want a shortcut that enable/disable a network card according to its status. I figured out how to enable or disable using either devcon, wmic and pnputil or found some Q&As here that suggest scripts that include conditional code but none of them works for me... the best I managed was to enable it when its disabled but the script doesnt disable it when its enabled...

this is one of the scripts that enable but do not disable:

@echo off

wmic path Win32_PnPEntity get FormFactor|find "2" >nul && goto :disable || goto :enable
goto :eof
:disable
  wmic Path Win32_PnPEntity Where "Name='Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller'" Call Disable
  goto :eof
:enable
  wmic Path Win32_PnPEntity Where "Name='Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller'" Call enable
  goto :eof

and this is another one

@echo off

for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('devcon status *DEV_8168^|find "Device is"') do set "status=%%a"
echo status is %status%


IF "%status%" == "running" (
  devcon disable DEV_8168
) ELSE (
  devcon enable DEV_8168
)

This last one gives me a clue of a kind, when the device is disabled the status query echo %status% returns 'disabled' but when it is enabled it returns nothing rather than 'running', which I believe is what it should return
