Wireless network cards for computers require control software to make them function (firmware, device drivers). This is a list of the status of some open-source drivers for 802.11 wireless network cards. Location of the network device drivers in a simplified structure of the Linux kernel.
For the Bluetooth Low Energy stack, according to Bluetooth 4.0 a special set of profiles applies. A host operating system can expose a basic set of profiles (namely OBEX, HID and Audio Sink) and manufacturers can add additional profiles to their drivers and stack to enhance what their Bluetooth devices can do. Devices such as mobile phones can ...
Wireless tools for Linux is a collection of user-space utilities written for Linux kernel-based operating systems to support and facilitate the configuration of device drivers of wireless network interface controllers and some related aspects of networking using the Linux Wireless Extension.
A Bluetooth earbud, an earphone and microphone that communicates with a cellphone using the Bluetooth protocol. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks (PANs).
BlueWiseLE is the Bluetooth Low Energy certified protocol stack software product from Alpwise. It includes the Link Layer [42] and also the Host stack (i.e. upper layers above the HCI). [43] The Link Layer controls the radio and the timing of the Bluetooth communication in three possible chipset configurations: SoC, co-processor or HCI.
Drivers that may be vulnerable include those for WiFi and Bluetooth, [19] [20] gaming/graphics drivers, [21] and drivers for printers. [ 22 ] There is a lack of effective kernel vulnerability detection tools, especially for closed-source OSes such as Microsoft Windows [ 23 ] where the source code of the device drivers is mostly not public (open ...
Windows 8 and later [41] (Windows 7 and earlier requires drivers from Bluetooth radio manufacturer supporting BLE stack as it has no built-in generic BLE drivers. [42]) Android 4.3 and later. [43] Android 6 or later requires location permission to connect to BLE. BlackBerry OS 10 [44] Linux 3.4 and later through BlueZ 5.0 [45] Unison OS 5.2 [46 ...
Because of these generic descriptions, it is easy for operating system designers to include functioning drivers for devices such as keyboards, mice, and other generic human interface devices. The inclusion of these generic drivers allows for faster deployment of devices and easier installation by end-users.
