- Drop -Physical + MediaType filter from Get-NetAdapter; some OEM driver
stacks report HardwareInterface=False or localize MediaType, hiding the
Realtek controller NIC from the previous query.
- Refine corp-vs-controller classification: skip only if a gateway is set
AND it's not 192.168.1.x, OR if the IP looks corp (10.x / 172.16-31.x).
Keep candidates that are unconfigured, link-local, or 192.168.x.
- Disable DHCP in both PersistentStore and ActiveStore before New-NetIPAddress
to avoid "Inconsistent parameters PolicyStore PersistentStore and Dhcp
enabled" failures.
- Fall back to netsh interface ip set address when the PS cmdlets still
fight each other; netsh writes both stores cleanly.
