Win7之家（ afsion.com.cn）：USB網(wǎng)卡可能無法在Win7下正常工作

 據(jù)微軟稱，基于Vista驅(qū)動的USB網(wǎng)卡適配器無法在Windows 7 pre-beta下正常工作。該癥狀涉及到NDIS5.xUSB網(wǎng)絡適配器無法在Windows 7性能監(jiān)視器中正常顯示的問題。NDIS指的是Network Driver Interface Specification網(wǎng)卡驅(qū)動界面標準，從XP到Vista，NDIS也從5.0版本升級到了6.0版本。

“性能監(jiān)視器只會顯示指向硬件連接器的適配器。在Vista和Server 2008中，微軟引進了NDIS6.0這項全新的標準�，F(xiàn)在網(wǎng)卡驅(qū)動開發(fā)者們都在努力開發(fā)基于這項標準的驅(qū)動。”

雷德蒙軟件巨頭并沒有發(fā)布任何補丁以解決此問題，也沒有任何跡象表明微軟想要解決此問題。在Windows 7完成前，微軟只是建議用戶將網(wǎng)卡和驅(qū)動升級到NDIS6.0以解決此問題。同時，他們還解釋稱除非網(wǎng)卡都通過NDIS微型端口與系統(tǒng)連接，否則Windows 7都無法識別此類設備。

According to Microsoft, pre-Beta development milestones of Windows 7 fail to play nice with USB network adapters that rely on pre-Windows Vista drivers. The symptoms involve NDIS 5.x USB network adapters not being displayed in the Windows 7 Performance Monitor. NDIS refers to the Network Driver Interface Specification library, which, following the transition from Windows XP to Windows Vista, evolved to version 6.0. Version 5 of NDIS was used by Windows operating systems before Vista.

“Perfmon only shows adapters that indicate that they have a physical, hardware connector. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 introduced a new Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) known as NDIS version 6. Network driver developers are encouraged to move their drivers to this new specification,” Microsoft revealed.
