IMHO this is a rather clumsy solution. An alternative is to invoke
devcon.exe from within your VB Script, which is not much better. The
cleanest solution is probably to run devcon.exe from within a batch file,
e.g. like so:

@echo off
goto Start
---------------------------------------------------
Disable a device from the Command Prompt
16.4.2006 FNL
---------------------------------------------------
:Start
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Adapter=Broadcom NetXtreme Fast Ethernet

set HWID=x
set count=0
set found=no

devcon.exe hwids "PCI\*" > c:\device.txt
for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (c:\device.txt) do (
set /a count=!count! + 1
if /i "%%*"=="Name: %Adapter%" set found=yes& set count=1
if !found!==yes if !count!==3 set HWID=%%*
)
if %found%==yes (
devcon disable "!HWID!"
) else (
echo Device "%Adapter%" not found.
)
del c:\device.txt

You can download devcon.exe from here:
