Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described is a network appliance that is able to proactively detect a user's operating system for a particular network enabled device and present the correct driver, firmware or other appropriate software to install on an end user's computing device with a minimum of steps. For example, in one embodiment, the described system creates such an easy installer workflow for end users that they are not aware they are installing "drivers" but instead, installing their "printer". The network appliance device queries a cloud-based software repository for appropriate driver, firmware or software based on the user's operating system and the information on the network enabled device. Once located, a link to the driver, firmware or software is sent back to the network appliance, which shows it to the user for download and installation by clicking the displayed link.
