Because Broadcast Architecture works with many different types of broadcast digital networks, the exact details of a broadcast receiver card depend on the broadcast network and on network-specific access-control mechanisms. Broadcast Architecture software requires a specific software driver for each card. The card vendor or network provider supplies this driver. For more information on such drivers, see the NIC Miniport section of the Broadcast Architecture Device-Driver Kit (DDK), part of the DDK for the Microsoft® Windows® 98 operating system.
