This class defines a network adapter.

It stores the network address of the adapter along with a plain text description. This class is needed by REDnet to handle multiple network adapters configurations.

A full list of the available network adapters on the machine is returned by the call to RNET::System::Initialize. The adapter to use can be explicitely set by calling RNET::System::SetAdapter.
