You can get this information from WMI.

For XP, Vista, Seven: Win32_NetworkAdapter class[^]
Since 8, 8.1, Server 2012: MSFT_NetAdapter class[^]
For both of these classes, the property you are interested in is 'Status'.

Here you can have a clue about how to use WMI classes from C#:
Sample C# code for using the latest WMI classes to manage Windows Storage[^]
You just have to change the scope and adapt the query.
