Difference between Device driver and Network interface controller

Device driver vs. Network interface controller

In the context of an operating system, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton. A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network.

Similarities between Device driver and Network interface controller

Device driver and Network interface controller have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bus (computing), Chipset, Computer, Computer hardware, Interrupt, Kernel (operating system), Linux, Microsoft, Peripheral, Peripheral Component Interconnect, User space and kernel space.

Bus (computing)

In computer architecture, a bus (historically also called data highway or databus) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers.

Interrupt

In digital computers, an interrupt (sometimes referred to as a trap) is a request for the processor to interrupt currently executing code (when permitted), so that the event can be processed in a timely manner.

Kernel (operating system)

The kernel is a computer program at the core of a computer's operating system and generally has complete control over everything in the system.
