Brilliant!!

And thanks to Alex's post a little later, found 'Name' on the NetworkAdaptor
which is what I wanted - mapping from netconnectionid to name - once I know
what the objects call them

> gwmi win32_NetworkAdapter -filter "netconnectionid is not null" | select netconnectionid,Name | ft -auto

netconnectionid Name
--------------- ----
Enterprise Broadcom BCM5708S NetXtreme II GigE (NDIS VBD Client)
Private Broadcom BCM5708S NetXtreme II GigE (NDIS VBD Client) #2


Now I have to figure how this power-shell stuff. First time using it. Yet
anoter scripting language to learn

Thanks for all the help folks.
