Abstract
A method and apparatus for efficient wireless interface installation is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for installing a first interface driver and a second interface driver is disclosed. The method comprises iterating a first interface driver installation process until at least one of success or a predetermined number of failures, if the first interface driver installation process is successful, iterating a second interface driver installation process until at least one of success or another predetermined number of failures, and generating an interface for communications between the first interface driver and the second interface driver, if the second interface driver installation process is successful.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for installing a first interface driver and a second interface driver, comprising:
- iterating a first interface driver installation process until at least one of success or a predetermined number of failures;
- if the first interface driver installation process is successful, iterating a second interface driver installation process until at least one of success or another predetermined number of failures;
- and
- if the second interface driver installation process is successful, generating an interface for communications between a first internal controller and a second internal controller.
A computerized method for installing an input/output interface driver and a wireless interface driver, comprising:
- iterating an input/output interface driver installation process until at least one of success or a predetermined number of failures;
- if the input/output interface driver installation process succeeds, iterating a wireless interface driver installation process until at least one of success or another predetermined number of failures;
- and
- if the wireless interface driver installation process succeeds, generating a network interface for communications between the input/output interface driver and the wireless interface driver.
A device for facilitating creation of a network interface, comprising:
- installation software for iterating a first interface driver installation process until at least one of success or a predetermined number of failures, if the first interface driver installation process is successful, iterating a second interface driver installation process until at least one of success or another predetermined number of failures and generating an interface for communications between the first interface driver and the second interface driver, if the second interface driver installation process is successful.
