AODNi

AODNi is a term that refers to a specific type of network interface card or network adapter. The designation "AODNi" is often associated with older Ethernet technologies. Specifically, it is commonly found in reference to network cards designed for the ISA bus, a legacy expansion bus architecture for personal computers that was prevalent in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These cards would provide a way for a computer to connect to a local area network.

The "AODNi" designation might indicate particular features or manufacturers, though this specific acronym isn't a universally recognized standard for a broad category of network hardware. It's more likely a model or series identifier from a particular manufacturer of network interface cards during that era. Such cards would have handled the physical and data link layers of network communication, allowing older computers to participate in networking environments before newer bus architectures like PCI became dominant. The presence of an "AODNi" card would typically suggest a system built with ISA slots, indicating its vintage. These devices are now largely obsolete due to advancements in networking technology and computer hardware.
