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.
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.
NetBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFly BSD have Wi-Fi support similar to FreeBSD. Code for some of the drivers, as well as the kernel framework to support them, is mostly shared among the 4 BSDs. Haiku has had preliminary Wi-Fi support since September 2009. [8] Solaris and OpenSolaris have the Wireless Networking Project to provide Wi-Fi drivers and ...
The increasing popularity of HD media players in 2009 led to the entry of Realtek into that market. The first series, the 1xx3 models [a] sold at a lower price than similar quality chipsets of Realtek's competitors. (The main competitors were the Sigma Media Players.) Realtek produced three major versions of Realtek 1xx3 and several minor ...

IEEE 802.11ac-2013 or 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols (which is part of the Wi-Fi networking family), providing high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band. [e] The standard has been retroactively labelled as Wi-Fi 5 by Wi-Fi Alliance. [9] [10]
IEEE 802.11be, dubbed Extremely High Throughput (EHT), is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols [9] [10] which is designated Wi-Fi 7 by the Wi-Fi Alliance. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] It has built upon 802.11ax , focusing on WLAN indoor and outdoor operation with stationary and pedestrian speeds in the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz ...
