In computer hardware, NIC typically stands for a network interface card, commonly also called the network card.

While a typical NIC may include some processing capability, this is normally very limited and doesn't qualify the NIC as a general purpose processing device.

The NIC serial number is a unique identifier assigned to a Network Interface Controller (NIC) and can typically be found on the device itself, in the device's settings, or through system information tools. To locate it, you can check the NIC's documentation, the manufacturer's website, or use command line tools like "ipconfig" on Windows or "ifconfig" on Linux.
