Often abbreviated as NIC, an expansion board you insert into a computer so the computer can be connected to a network. Most NICs are designed for a particular type of network, protocol, and media, although some can serve multiple networks.
A piece of hardware that fits into a computer and allows it to communicate with other computers across a network.
a hardware device used to connect any node to network
a low-power card (doesn't drain your Newton battery as quickly as most PCMCIA cards)
an adapter card that physically connects your computer to a network cable
an expansion card installed in the mother board of a computer for connecting pheriperal devices, and with other computers for data transaction
a piece of computer hardware designed to provide for computer communication over a computer network
a special card which allows your computer to talk to other computers that are physically attached via cables
a Wi-Fi certified wireless LAN (WLAN) card that allow user to easily implements networking into LinuxQuestions
A piece of add-on hardware that allows a computer to connect to a network.
A device in your computer that allows you to connect to network cables, LANs, routers, or external modems.
A wafer-shaped piece of hardware that enables a computer to be linked up, via cabling, to other machines in the network.
The same as a network adapter.
The Network Interface Card, or NIC, is an add-in card that enables acomputer to connect to some form of computer network.
A card that can be installed in one of the motherboard slots to give the computer the ability to talk to other computers with similar cards. A collection of similarly equipped computers connected by specially designed cables is known as a network. The mechanism (including languages and protocols) used to communicate on a network are varied, but the most common networking designs in use are Ethernet and Token Ring.
Also known as a Network Interface Card, a NIC, also referred to as a "network adapter", is a printed circuit board containing the necessary hardware used to connect a computer to a network or other computer.
A piece of hardware which allows certain types of broadband modem to be connected to your computer. They are also used to connect a number of computers together to form a network. USB broadband connections are more common.
An expansion card that can be easily added to your computer. In some cases a network card is needed to connect to broadband. (Check with your broadband service provider prior to purchase).

An adapter used to connect the PC to the Internet, also called the WI-FI adapter or PCMCIA adapter.
A hardware component that provides communications between a PC and a network connection, typically to a local area network (LAN) or an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
The expansion card that fits inside a computer that permits inter connectivity over a LAN (Local Area Network). Various transmission mediums are used, but the most popular are Token Ring and Ethernet. Token Ring can operate at 16Mbit/s, and Ethernet 10Mbits/s, although in practice, speeds obtained are much lower. A new version of Ethernet called Fast Ethernet will operate at 100Mbit/s and is ideal for server to server data transfers. See also LAN and Server.
A network card is a bit of hardware which allows certain types of modem to be connected to your computer. Network cards are also used to connect a number of computers together to form a local network.
A card (or set of chips) that fits inside a computer so that the computer can connect to a network. The card has a connector for attaching the network cable.
An internal card on a computer which allows the computer to be connected to a network. Also known as 10Base-T card, Network Interface Card (NIC), or Ethernet card.
Hardware card that allows a connection of two or more computers to share files, play games and more. These are connected by a cable to each other however, now there is the wireless route which has been gaining more popularity over the past couple of years.

A network card, network adapter or NIC (network interface controller) is a piece of computer hardware designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. It is both an OSI layer 1 (physical layer) and layer 2 (data link layer) device, as it provides physical access to a networking medium and provides a low-level addressing system through the use of MAC addresses. It allows users to connect to each other either by using cables or wirelessly.
