一个具有优盘功能的USB无线网卡的实现方案

Realization of USB Wireless Network Card with a USB Mass Storage

本文主要介绍了USB无线网卡的实现方案,对一些细节做了必要的说明,并比较了现有无线网卡方案的优缺点和重点介绍了网卡节能方面的特殊设计。使用USB接口的另一个好处,也是一个很重要的特点就是网卡上自带了一个优盘,用于存放驱动程序,在Windows系统下可以实现自动运行安装。网卡驱动是基于微软NDIS框架下的网卡驱动开发,是一个具有WDM底层的NDIS微端口驱动。

This paper mainly presents the realization of USB wireless network card with a USB mass storage in Windows XP. It compares the advantages and disadvantages of it with the present wireless network cards, and mainly introduces the energy saving function of this network card. In this design, a USB mass storage was used to store the setup and configuration programs. It can run automatically in Windows system.
