If the network adapter is working properly (confirm this in device manager), it should show in the ipconfig /all list. Perhaps it would be easier to find when scrolling through the list slowly. Use the piped command: ipconfig /all more (the pipe character is usually shift+backslash on US keyboards). The 'name' in the ipconfig listing should be the same 'name' that appears in: Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections. The adapter in question does show in Manage Network Connections, right?
