I knew that media is the plural form of medium:). And I rechecked the MSDN
about OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE  (see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff569607(v=vs.85).aspx),
it said "*As a query, the OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE OID specifies a complete
list of the media types that the NIC currently uses.*". So I think that in
Microsoft' point of view, "multiple" media can be in use at a given time
(this looks weird for me too). But in practice, I didn't see "multiple"
media are ever returned on the OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE or
OID_GEN_MEDIA_SUPPORTED request.

Cheers,
Yang
