  Overview

  NIC Drivers and Operating Systems

Overview

The drivers that are required for a particular network interface controller (NIC) depend on the operating system that is installed on your system. 

Table 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 1 and the operating system that is installed on your system. 

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