installers and users. The AEN100/101 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Card
complies to PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 specification and supports half/full duplex
feature which can double network speed.
The AEN100/101 support both 10Mbps and 100Mbps network speed,
100Base-TX operates on two pairs of category 5 UTP cable and 10Base-T
operates on Category 3,4,5 UTP cable.
