You better use an Eventwatcher to watch the 'MSNdis_MediaConnectStatus' ,
following gives you an idea how to proceed.
class Tester {
public static void Main() {
Tester we = new Tester();
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("root\\wmi");
ManagementEventWatcher w = null;
try {
WqlEventQuery q = new WqlEventQuery();
q.EventClassName = "__InstanceOperationEvent";
q.WithinInterval = new TimeSpan(0,0,3);
q.Condition = @"TargetInstance ISA 'MSNdis_MediaConnectStatus' ";
w = new ManagementEventWatcher( q);
w.EventArrived += new EventArrivedEventHandler(we.NetwEventArrived);
w.Start();
Console.ReadLine(); // block main thread for test purposes
}
catch(Exception e) {
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
finally {
w.Stop();
w.Dispose();
}
}
public void NetwEventArrived(object sender, EventArrivedEventArgs e) {
//Get the Event object and show it
ManagementBaseObject prop =
e.NewEvent.Properties["PreviousInstance"].Value as ManagementBaseObject;
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToBoolean(prop.Propertie s["NdisMediaConnectStatus"].Value)?"Connected":"Disonnected");
}
}

I know I am the one creating the leak. What I am really looking for is a
better way to detect if the network cord is unplugged. Basically I need an
event to notify when there are changes to connectivity status. I am
working
on my memory leak issue, but need to know if there is a better way then
WMI.

But you still haven't answered the question. Are you looking at Task
Manager, or is there a performance counter that is indicating that you
have
a memory leak.
If it is in fact a memory leak, there is a good chance that you are
not
disposing of something properly. Are you sure that you are calling
Dispose
on anything that implements IDisposable at the appropriate time? You
might
think you are, but if there truly is a memory leak, this would be the
most
obvious culprit.
