Test Item Description
Control Registers This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the network
controller registers by writing various values to the registers and
verifying the result. The device driver uses these registers to
perform network functions such as sending and receive
information. If the test fails, the network adapter may not work
properly.
SPROM Format This test verifies the content of the SPROM by reading a portion of
Validation the SPROM and computing the checksum. The test fails if the
computed checksum is different than the checksum stored in the
SPROM.
Memory Tests This tests verifies that the network controller internal memory is
functioning properly. The test writes patterned values to the
memory and reading back the results. The test fails if an erroneous
value is read back. The network controller will not function without
its internal memory.
Interrupt Test This tests verifies that the network controller internal memory is
functioning properly. The test writes patterned values to the
memory and reading back the results. The test fails if an erroneous
value is read back. The network controller will not function without
its internal memory.
Loopback Test This test verifies that the NDIS driver is able to receive interrupts
from the network controller.
This test verifies that your 802.11 wireless networking hardware is
