Some of the embodiments of the present disclosure provide method comprising receiving a request at a device for a device driver associated with the device, the request for the device driver being received at the device through a network, the device having a network configuration in the network; and transmitting the device driver from the device in response to the request, including transmitting the network configuration of the device.

Modifying a device driver of a device to include a network configuration of the device

A method that includes coupling a first device to a client device using a universal serial bus (USB) link, and detecting, by the first device, a USB operating system (OS) descriptor request made by the client device. The method further includes reporting, by the first device, a mass storage interface to the client device in response to a detected USB OS descriptor request, and using the mass storage interface to install, in the client device, a device driver associated with the first device.

Detection of a USB OS descriptor request to facilitate installation of a device driver

A service device that comprises a storage drive, where the storage drive includes an installer program, a device driver, and a mass storage interface. The mass storage interface is configured to enumerate the storage drive to a client device when the service device is coupled to the client device for a first time. The client device auto-launches the installer program in response to the service device being enumerated to the client device for the first time. The installer program installs the device driver in the client device in response to being auto-launched.
