I aim to understand more about the network interface card.
I aim to understand more about the network interface card.
I understand the situation, I have the necessary connectors for the Ethernet cable, I know how to use the command prompt to ping, and I recognize the wireless radio hardware. However, I lack more details. Can someone assist by clarifying the main hardware and software parts, particularly the initial security layer in the NIC? Is there a mix of hardware and software security, or is it mainly software-based? Are there recommended articles or YouTube videos that explain how the NIC functions? Also, does the compiler exist separately from the CPU?
Computer networking is a comprehensive subject at the college or university level, isn't it? Have you ever taken any computer-related classes before? It can be quite challenging to grasp the fundamentals, and for students, it might require two semesters.
It's important to note that networking is unrelated to compilers; it focuses on protocols, negotiations, error corrections, and transmission media.
You can find many resources online, such as this YouTube course: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_q...ull+Course
There are also several videos under 12 hours that might help:

If you're serious about studying, consider courses with playlists and start with the first episode. Additionally, there are computer/network courses available from MIT: https://www.youtube.com/@mitocw/search?query=computer network
I took cable networking in job corps. I still recall the color codes and Ethernet standards. In computer science, I understand binary code, hexadecimal, the inner workings of computers, and I have some books. Your reply gives me something to build on, thank you.
