摘要：A network interface engine enables a pre-boot environment that has very limited networking hardware interface support to be able to use to a broad range of physical network interfaces. The network interface engine is an operating system that includes device driver support for various networking hardware interfaces such as different LAN, WLAN, and WWAN chipsets. The hypervisor establishes a virtual network interface between the pre-boot environment and the network interface engine, which enables the pre-boot environment to use one standard network interface to access the wide variety of networking hardware interfaces.
