Microsoft nic driver

Thanks for your feedback. I've looked around to fix it, and I found a website that instructed the following: Type "Device Manager" into the search field to open the device manager console. Expand the "Network Adapters" field. This will list all network adapters that the machine has installed. Right-click on the adapter you want to uninstall and select "Uninstall". This will remove the adapter from the list and uninstall the device.

If troubleshooting a wireless issue make sure to select the correct device - the word "Wireless" will likely be in the title. Click "Ok" when prompted to uninstall the device. This will remove the adapter from the list and uninstall the driver. Once the adapter has been uninstalled click on the "Scan for hardware changes" button to search for and reinstall the correct adapter. The icon can be hard to see - you can hover your mouse over the button to confirm you are choosing the correct one.

A bus-master DMA NIC typically has an onboard ring buffer that the miniport driver maps to a set of buffers in system memory. Typically, the NIC can be programmed to efficiently handle several packets. A miniport driver that manages such a NIC uses the system DMA controller to manage the transfer of packet data to and from the network.

Transfer of the data requires the cooperation of the host CPU. In a virtual machine, NDIS miniport drivers can manage either software-only resources as a virtual miniport, or they can manage a virtual NIC that represents hardware resources. The following table explains the differences between a virtual miniport and a virtual NIC.
