Computing device and method for registering identification information of network interface card in operating system

摘要

In a method for registering identification information of network interface cards (NICs) in an operating system of a computing device, each of the NICs is respectively and uniquely labeled with a number. A peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device identification (ID) of each of the NICs is allocated according to the labeled number of each NIC using a basic input output system (BIOS) of the computing device when the BIOS is booted up. Then identification information of each of the NICs is registered in the operating system according to the PCI device ID of each NIC using a NIC driver of the computing device, when the NIC driver is driven by the operating system during the booting up process of the operating system.

1. A method for registering identification information of network interface cards (NICs) in an operating system of a computing device, each of the NICs being respectively and uniquely labeled with a number, the method comprising:
allocating a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device identification (ID) for each of the NICs according to the labeled number of each of the NICs using a basic input output system (BIOS) of the computing device when the BIOS is booted up, wherein the PCI device ID of each of the NICs comprises a bus number corresponding to the labeled number, a device number, and a function number, and the bus number of each of the NICs is unique; and registering identification information for each of the NICs in the operating system according to the PCI device ID of each of the NICs using a NIC driver of the computing device, when the NIC driver is loaded by the operating system during the booting up process of the operating system.
