General Information

Summary
Device drivers represent the software interface part of installed network devices. Some drivers are
included in the system software package and some in additional feature packages.
For complete list of supported devices and respective device driver names please consult the
'Related Documents' section.
The device drivers for PCI, miniPCI, PC (PCMCIA) and CardBus cards are loaded automatically.
Other network interface cards (most ISA and PCI ISDN cards) require the device drivers to be
loaded manually using the /driver add command.
Users cannot add their own device drivers, only drivers included in the Mikrotik RouterOS software
packages can be used. If you need a support for a device, which hasn't a driver yet, you are
welcome to suggest it at suggestion page on our web site.
