  Overview

  NIC Drivers and Operating Systems



Overview

The drivers that are required for a particular Network Interface Card (NIC) depend on the operating system that is installed on your system.

Table 9-1 shows the relationship between NICs supported by Server Administrator and the drivers that they require on each supported operating system.

For a list of Server Administrator supported operating systems, see "Introduction."


NIC Drivers and Operating Systems

To determine required drivers for NIC systems management, locate your NIC manufacturer in Table 9-1 and the operating system that is installed on your system.

In Table 9-1, "NA" indicates that the driver is supplied by the operating system rather than by the manufacturer of the NIC.
