Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wireless network device includes operating system layer buffers used by an operating system and driver layer buffers used by a wireless network interface driver in the device. Memory stores a capacity bitmap managed by the wireless network interface driver. The capacity bitmap identifies a current capacity of each of the driver layer buffers and the capacity bitmap may be provided to the operating system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wireless network device comprising: operating system (OS) layer buffers used by an OS; driver layer buffers used by a wireless network interface driver; and memory storing a capacity bitmap managed by a capacity bitmap manager of the wireless network interface driver, wherein the capacity bitmap manager exposes the capacity bitmap to the OS, determines a current capacity of each of the driver layer buffers, and sets an indication of the current capacit…
