A network card testing method, used to test if the network card is capable of functioning normally in a computer having Extended Firmware Interface (EFI) system. Wherein, in a protocol assignment table is recorded the connection relations of a network protocol of Extended Firmware Interface, and a driver program corresponding to a network driver interface specification (NDIS) layer. In addition, the driver corresponding to the network card is loaded at the NDIS layer. In implementing the network card test program, though the utilization of an additionally written EFI pseudo program as a medium of transmitting data for the network card testing program, and also though the utilization of an additionally written intermediate filter driver in invoking a driver suitable for the network card, the hardware testing of network card can be realized, thus increasing the category and scope of the network card testing supported by an EFI system.
