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.
A wireless network interface controller may be implemented as an expansion card and connected using PCI bus or PCIe bus, or connected via USB, PC Card, ExpressCard, Mini PCIe or M.2. The low cost and ubiquity of the Wi-Fi standard means that many newer mobile computers have a wireless network interface built into the motherboard.
Also, low mobility users can aggregate multiple channels to get a download throughput of up to 1 Gbit/s [2] Flash-OFDM: Flash-OFDM: Mobile Internet mobility up to 200 mph (350 km/h) Flash-OFDM: 5.3 10.6 15.9: 1.8 3.6 5.4: Mobile range 30 km (18 miles) Extended range 55 km (34 miles) HIPERMAN: HIPERMAN: Mobile Internet: OFDM: 56.9: Wi-Fi: 802.11 ...
The Microsoft Windows Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) API has supported extensions for monitor mode since NDIS version 6, first available in Windows Vista. [1] NDIS 6 supports exposing 802.11 frames to the upper protocol levels, [ 2 ] while previous versions only exposed fake Ethernet frames translated from the 802.11 frames.
IEEE 802.11s is a wireless local area network (WLAN) standard and an IEEE 802.11 amendment for mesh networking, defining how wireless devices can interconnect to create a wireless LAN mesh network, which may be used for relatively fixed (not mobile) topologies and wireless ad hoc networks. The IEEE 802.11s task group drew upon volunteers from ...
The feature has been implemented for the first time into Microsoft operating systems in Windows 8. This has caused a number of compatibility issues particularly with wireless access points that are not compatible with the standard. Rolling back the wireless adapter driver to one from Windows 7 usually fixes the issue.
Intel PRO/Wireless is a series of wireless products developed by Intel.These products include wireless network adapters, access points, and routers that are designed to provide high-speed wireless connectivity for computers, laptops, and other devices.
IEEE 802.11a-1999 or 802.11a was an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 wireless local network specifications that defined requirements for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system.
