Earlier versions of Windows, such as 98, ME, and 2000 do not have built-in configuration and management support and must depend on software provided by the manufacturer. Microsoft Windows XP has built-in configuration and management support. The original shipping version of Windows XP included rudimentary support which was dramatically improved ...
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.
The driver for the Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card that comes with the Windows 10 64-bit installation is a Microsoft driver (v5.100.245.200, dated 212–03–14). This driver works but is not very stable and suffers from frequently disconnects. This Wi-Fi adapter uses a Broadcom BCM43xx chip.
IEEE 802.11n is an amendment to IEEE 802.11-2007 as amended by IEEE 802.11k-2008, IEEE 802.11r-2008, IEEE 802.11y-2008, and IEEE 802.11w-2009, and builds on previous 802.11 standards by adding a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system and 40 MHz channels to the PHY (physical layer) and frame aggregation to the MAC layer.
Diagram explaining conventional Wi-Fi (left) and Wi-Fi Direct (right) Wi-Fi Direct is a Wi-Fi standard for wireless connections [1] that allows two devices to establish a direct Wi-Fi connection without an intermediary wireless access point, router, or Internet connection.
The article comparison of open-source wireless drivers lists free and open-source software drivers available for all Qualcomm Atheros IEEE 802.11 chipsets. The most recent generations of Atheros wireless cards (802.11ac and 802.11ax) require non-free binary blob firmware to work, [ 39 ] [ 40 ] whereas earlier generations generally do not ...
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 ...
Some of Ralink's 802.11n RT2800 chipsets have been accepted into the Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n draft 2.0 core technology testbed. They have also been selected in the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and Wireless Multimedia Extensions Power Save (WMM-PS) testbeds. Ralink was a participant in the Wi-Fi Alliance and the IEEE 802.11 standards committees. [1]
