Streamlining VMNIC Driver, Firmware, and DriverVersion output



Hello,


I'm running a vSphere 5.0 environment and I am trying to find a easy way to show each hosts' NIC Driver, NIC Firmware, and NICDriverVersion number. What I'm needing help on is how to streamline what I have already attempted to write (I am new to this). Currently, I have to list each VMNIC separately in my script. The problem with that is I have to list vmnic 0 thru vmnic12 to cover each different host configurations I have. What I really want to be able to do is skip any pNIC not used, but don't know how to do that. 


Any suggestions on how to better write what I am trying to do would be greatly appreciated!

$Report = @()
$VMhosts = Get-VMhost | ? { $_.Version -gt 5}
foreach ($vmhost in $vmhosts) {
$esxcli = $VMhost | Get-EsxCli
$UPnics = $esxcli.network.nic.list() | Where-Object {$_.link -eq "Up"}
foreach ($pnic in $UPnics) {
$Nicinfo = "" | Select-Object Name, Pnic, Drivers, FirmwareVersion, DriverVersion
