A computer system with a software framework for supporting Wi-Fi communications that is used for WiMAX communications in a user friendly way. A Wi-Fi emulation component presents a driver interface to the framework that allows Wi-Fi user interfaces and control functions to operate with a WiMAX network card. Functions of the WiMAX card not supported through the framework may be translated within the emulation component to command objects that are passed by the framework to extensibility components. The extensibility components may be supplied in association with the network interface card. The emulation component also presents an interface to a driver for a WiMAX network interface card in a form that may interface directly with the framework, if the framework is modified to support WiMAX communications.
