Network adaptation method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a network adaptation method and device, wherein the method comprises the following steps of sending first driving configuration information in various pieces of driving configuration information in a network card to a personal computer (PC); receiving a first message which is returned from the PC and responds to the first driving configuration information; according to the first message, determining whether the PC supports the first driving configuration information; and carrying out network adaption by the first driving configuration information. According to the network adaptation method and device, an interface requirement of USB (universal serial bus) network equipment under a common operating system (WINDOWS / MAC / LINUX) can be fulfilled, the compatibility problem of different operation systems is avoided so as to realize the network adaption, and the effect on improving the user experience is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a network adaptation method and device. Background technique [0002] As the Universal Serial Bus (USB for short) technology continues to mature, the USB virtual network card has increasingly become a common way to connect to a network due to its advantages of plug-and-play and hot-swappable functions. At present, the methods of accessing the wireless network through the USB virtual network card mainly include: [0003] (1) Method 1: Based on the implementation method of the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS for short), since NDIS spans the transport layer, network layer and data link layer, this method defines the network card or network card driver The communication interface specification with the upper-layer protocol driver can shield the difference of the underlying physical hardware, and realize the Internet access in the form of a virtual network card. This me...

Problems solved by technology

For the first method, the manufacturer needs to develop the corresponding driver, which consumes a lot of development and testing time, and there will be various compatibility problems when the system is upgraded; for the other three methods, the customer does not need to develop additional corresponding drivers. They are all automatically driven by the system, relatively stable, and are currently the most commonly used USB network card access methods

However, under normal circumstances, since the operating system used by the PC in the wireless network is only one of MAC system, LINUX system, and WINDOWS system (including WINDOWS 8 system), the operating system used by the PC can only support ECM, One of the three wireless access methods of RNDIS and MBIM, but the current USB virtual network card is only configured with driver configuration information for driving one of the three wireless access methods of ECM, RNDIS, and MBIM. When the virtual network card is connected to the wireless network, it may not be able to successfully match the operating system of the PC, so network adaptation may not be achieved

[0008] In the related art, when using a USB virtual network card to access a wireless network, the USB virtual network card may not be able to match the operating system of the PC, resulting in the inability to achieve network adaptation. No effective solution has been proposed yet.
