  2. TUN/TAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUN/TAP

    Being network devices supported entirely in software, they differ from ordinary network devices which are backed by physical network adapters. The Universal TUN/TAP Driver originated in 2000 as a merger of the corresponding drivers in Solaris, Linux and BSD. [1] The driver continues to be maintained as part of the Linux [2] and FreeBSD [3] [4 ...

  3. 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.

  4. RNDIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNDIS

    The Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol used mostly on top of USB. [1] It provides a virtual Ethernet link to most versions of the Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Multiple revisions of a partial RNDIS specification are available from Microsoft, but Windows implementations have ...

  5. NetworkManager - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetworkManager

    On Linux and all Unix-like operating systems, the utilities ifconfig and the newer ip (from the iproute2-bundle) are used to configure IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.11 hardware. These utilities configure the kernel directly and the configuration is applied immediately. After boot-up, the user is required to configure them again.

  6. Operating system Wi-Fi support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system_Wi-Fi_support

    Windows ships with very few Wi-Fi drivers and depends on the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and device manufacturers to make sure users get drivers. Configuration and management depend on the version of Windows. Earlier versions of Windows, such as 98, ME, and 2000 do not have built-in configuration and management support and must ...

  7. iproute2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iproute2

    iproute2 is a collection of userspace utilities for controlling and monitoring various aspects of networking in the Linux kernel, including routing, network interfaces, tunnels, traffic control, and network-related device drivers.

  8. Comparison of open-source wireless drivers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source...

    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.

  9. Device driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

    The virtual device driver can also send simulated processor-level events like interrupts into the virtual machine. Virtual devices may also operate in a non-virtualized environment. For example, a virtual network adapter is used with a virtual private network, while a virtual disk device is used with iSCSI.
