  2. NDISwrapper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper

    NDISwrapper is a free software driver wrapper that enables the use of Windows XP network device drivers (for devices such as PCI cards, USB modems, and routers) on Linux operating systems. NDISwrapper works by implementing the Windows kernel and NDIS APIs and dynamically linking Windows network drivers to this implementation.

  3. List of DOS system files - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DOS_system_files

    CONFIG.SYS: This contains statements to configure DOS and load device drivers. Standard DOS utility programs: APPEND: Set a search path for data files. ASSIGN: Redirect requests for disk operations on one drive to a different drive. ATTRIB: Set or display file attributes. BACKUP / RESTORE: simple backup and restore utilities.

  4. Device driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

    The Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) model continues to allow development of kernel-mode device drivers but attempts to provide standard implementations of functions that are known to cause problems, including cancellation of I/O operations, power management, and plug-and-play device support.

  5. Network Driver Interface Specification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Driver_Interface...

    NDIS Miniport drivers can also use Windows Driver Model interfaces to control network hardware. [19] Another driver type is NDIS Intermediate Driver. Intermediate drivers sit in-between the MAC and IP layers and can control all traffic being accepted by the NIC. In practice, intermediate drivers implement both miniport and protocol interfaces.

  6. Advanced SCSI Programming Interface - Wikipedia

    Adaptec also developed generic SCSI disk and CD-ROM drivers for DOS (ASPICD.SYS and ASPIDISK.SYS). [3]: 60–61 At least a couple of other programming interfaces for SCSI device drivers competed with ASPI in the early 1990s, including CAM (Common Access Method), developed by Apple; and Layered Device Driver Architecture, developed by Microsoft.

  7. Device driver synthesis and verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver_synthesis...

    The device driver.. Device drivers are programs which allow software or higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. These software components act as a link between the devices and the operating systems, communicating with each of these systems and executing commands.

  8. TUN/TAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUN/TAP

    TAP, namely network TAP, simulates a link layer device and operates in layer 2 carrying Ethernet frames. TUN is used with routing. TAP can be used to create a user space network bridge. [2] Packets sent by an operating system via a TUN/TAP device are delivered to a user space program which attaches itself to the device. A user space program may ...

  9. Kernel-Mode Driver Framework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-Mode_Driver_Framework

    WDM is the driver model used since the advent of Windows 98, whereas KMDF is the driver framework Microsoft advocates and uses for Windows 2000 and beyond. In general, since more features like power management and plug and play are handled by the KMDF framework, a KMDF driver is less complicated and has less code than an equivalent WDM driver.
