Internal Ethernet controller
A variety of Ethernet controllers is integrated into almost all models starting with the introduction of the A, T and X series.
The Ethernet controller is located on either a MiniPCI card, Communications Daughter Card (CDC), or integrated on the systemboard.
3COM Fast Ethernet (10/100)
MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
Intel Fast Ethernet (10/100)
CDC and MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
- Ethernet Daughter Card (EDC)
- 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
In addition, this chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:
Intel 82550GY
Intel 82562ET
Intel 82562EZ
Driver: e100 (The 'e100' driver is the suggested driver, but 'eepro100' should also work.)
Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000)
Chipset: Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Ethernet
Driver: e1000
This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:
Intel 82540EP
Intel 82541GI
Note: This chip support Auto-MDX, meaning you will never need a crossover ethernet cable.
Broadcom Fast Ethernet (10/100)
Chipset: Broadcom BCM5901
Driver: tg3 or bcm5700
This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:
Broadcom Gigabit (10/100/1000)
Chipset: Broadcom BCM5751M
Driver: tg3 or bcm5700
This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:
