Best Answer

A LAN driver, or a network card driver enables the operating system to communicate with the network card and transmit and receive packets of information across the network or LAN. It provides a "bridge" between the operating system (software) and the network card (hardware). This kind of layering provides a scalable architecture, where a single operating system can work with many network cards and vice-versa.

What is Wireless LAN driver?

A wireless LAN driver is a Windows file or set of files that tells the computer how to communicate with the wireless hardware inside of it. It may also come with a utility that aids in connection to wireless networks. If you are looking for a particular wireless driver, you can google the maker and model of your wireless card and you should be able to download it. (That is supposing you have an alternate way of connecting to the internet, otherwise use a computer that is and put the driver on a jumpdrive/memory stick.)

Not always. While it may work, depending on the quality of the driver, it is far better to obtain a Vista-specific driver. Vista introduced a new TCP/IP stack and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification), so the old driver may not perform as well.
