A wireless network interface controller ( WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE (4G) or 5G rather than a wired network, such as an Ethernet network. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna to communicate via radio waves.
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. Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.
In computer networking, promiscuous mode is a mode for a wired network interface controller (NIC) or wireless network interface controller (WNIC) that causes the controller to pass all traffic it receives to the central processing unit (CPU) rather than passing only the frames that the controller is specifically programmed to receive.
Intel AMT is security and management technology that is built into PCs with Intel vPro technology. [1] Intel AMT uses a hardware-based out-of-band (OOB) communication channel [1] that operates regardless of the presence of a working operating system. The communication channel is independent of the PC's power state, the presence of a management ...
The MN-500 served as a wireless access point, a router, and included an Ethernet hub with four 10/100 Ethernet ports. A five port Ethernet switch and Ethernet network interface controller cards were announced, along with kits. Reviews noted the reasonable prices and simple interface, although the configuration software would sometimes fail.
Monitor mode, or RFMON (Radio Frequency MONitor) mode, allows a computer with a wireless network interface controller (WNIC) to monitor all traffic received on a wireless channel. Unlike promiscuous mode, which is also used for packet sniffing, monitor mode allows packets to be captured without having to associate with an access point or ad hoc ...
An air-gapped computer or network is one that has no network interfaces, either wired or wireless, connected to outside networks. [3] [4] Many computers, even when they are not plugged into a wired network, have a wireless network interface controller ( WiFi) and are connected to nearby wireless networks to access the Internet and update software.
Network access control is a computer networking solution that uses a set of protocols to define and implement a policy that describes how to secure access to network nodes by devices when they initially attempt to access the network. [3] NAC might integrate the automatic remediation process (fixing non-compliant nodes before allowing access ...
