Location and function: A network interface cards main function is to connect a computer to a computer network, it is located in the actual computer.
Description: The network interface car implements the electronic circuitry required to communicate using a physical layer and a data link layer. The NIC allows computers to communicate over a computer network either by using cables or wiressly.
Limitations: NICs are not as portable as wireless cards. When a computer is moved when its connected to a network with a NIC from one location to another, it must be disconnected from the from the network and reconnect it. This could be considered a hindrance.
Sustainability: A network interface card generally is sustained well and does not need to be replaced unless it is faulty.
