All ThinkPad's produced the last several years have one of three Ethernet controllers integrated.
 
 
 
The Ethernet controller is located on either a MiniPCI card, Communications Daughter Card (CDC), or integrated on the systemboard.
 
 
 
=== 3COM 10/100 ===
 
CDC and MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
 
*[[3Com 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K Modem]]
 
 
 
=== Intel 10/100 ===
 
Chipset: Various Intel Mobile Ethernet chips<br>
 
Driver: e100
 
 
 
The e100 driver is the suggested driver, but 'eepro100' should also work.<br>
 
On older ThinkPad's this is implemented on a MiniPCI or CDC, on newer ThinkPad's this is integrated into the systemboard.
 
 
 
CDC and MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
 
*[[Intel 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K Modem]]
 
*[[Intel Pro/100 SP Mobile Combo Adapter]]
 
*[[Mini-PCI Ethernet card]]
 
*[[Xircom 10/100 EtherJet Mini PCI Adapter with 56K Modem]]
 
 
 
=== Intel 10/100/1000 ===
 
Driver: e1000
 
 
 
This chip is integrated into the systemboard.<br>
 
Note: This chip support Auto-MDX, meaning you will never need a crossover ethernet cable.
 
 
 
=== Broadcom 10/100 ===
 
Chipset: Broadcom BCM5901<br>
 
Driver: tg3 or bcm5700
 
 
 
This chip is integrated into the systemboard of the G40 (and perhaps G41?)
 
 
 
=== Broadcom 10/100/1000 ===
 
Chipset: Broadcom BCM5751M<br>
 
Driver: tg3 or bcm5700
 
 
 
This chip is integrated into the systemboard of the T43 (and perhaps other recent systems?)
