What Are Ethernet Controller Drivers?
Ethernet controller drivers sit between a computer’s network system and operating system, facilitating communication between the two parts of the computer. Overall, while network card specific Ethernet controller drivers do exist, they are often of a lower priority than other systems. Most modern operating systems contain default drivers that provide full network access without any additional software. If specific Ethernet controller drivers are required, they may be found on the website of the computer’s assembler or the network card’s manufacturer. Drivers allow software and hardware to interact more efficiently and help provide a feature-rich environment. Many drivers contain coding that speeds up information transferal and power usage. These features let the computer run faster while interacting with the hardware and reduce the power consumed by the peripheral.
