Last year I ran into the issue of .NET network bindings not returning all NICs. [0] This issue has been present in the .NET since the genesis and only resolved in .NET 9. I had to create my own Win32 wrapper so everything works properly in .NET 4 frameworks ... still need to maintain Windows 7 pre-SP1 support in some applications.

Smells like Microsoft was trying to create APIs based on assumptions versus a 1:1 method that exposes managed code and hides unmanaged.
