Since the array in the ADAPTER_STATUS is so short, one workaround is
to simply split it up in six separate byte members. That should enable
using pointers to it.

Of course this is a bit lame, and in C# v2 the new fixed array feature
provides a better solution for this, letting you write

unsafe struct ADATPER_STATUS {
  public fixed byte adapter_address[6];
  ...
