It's actually in System.Net.NetworkInformation:

>>> System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
Array[SystemNetworkInterface]((<System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemNetworkInterface object at 0x000000000000002E [System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemNetworkIn
terface]>, <System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemNetworkInterface object at 0x000000000000002F [System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemNetworkInterface]>, <System.N
et.NetworkInformation.SystemNetworkInterface object at 0x0000000000000030 [System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemNetworkInterface]>))

You also don't need the clr.AddReference because this is in System.dll instead
of in System.Net.dll.
