Abstract
For a processor-based device capable of network communications, a workload associated with a wireless link to a network may be partitioned into software and hardware implementable portions based on a link communication profile. In response to a different link communication profile, the workload may be re-configured to simultaneously support another wireless link protocol different than that of the configured wireless link.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a communication interface operably coupled to a controller to wirelessly communicate over a wireless link to a network; and
a storage device, operably coupled to said communication interface, storing a driver that partitions a workload associated with the wireless link into software and hardware implementable portions based on a link communication profile and configures said workload to simultaneously support another wireless link different than the wireless link responsive to a different link communication profile. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
