Notes:
AdapterName is an ASCII string, I was unable to Marshal automatically, you can use this code to get it:
byte[] cName = new byte[MAX_ADAPTER_NAME_LENGTH];
Marshal.Copy(addr.AdapterName, cName, 0, MAX_ADAPTER_NAME_LENGTH);
string name = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(cName, 0, MAX_ADAPTER_NAME_LENGTH);
Tips & Tricks:
A good starting point is to try calling with:
IList<System.Net.IPAddress> hello = IPIntertop.GetIPAddresses(IPIntertop.FAMILY.AF_INET, IPIntertop.FLAGS.GAA_FLAG_DEFAULT);
