FW-100TX

The FW-100TX is a Bus Master Type 32-bit Fast Ethernet Adapter designed
for IBM PC compatibles with a PCI bus slot. The Fast Ethernet adapter
complies with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T/ 802.3 u 100BASE-TX standards and
PCI Rev. 2.1 specifications. The adapter is equipped with Auto-Negotiation
function, and can automatically detect the appropriate communication rate
(10Mbps/100Mbps) and duplex mode (half/full-duplex) whenever it is
connected to a hub with Auto-Negotiation support.
The FW-100TX supports flow control in full duplex (IEEE802.3x), a
feature unavailable in traditional ordinary NICs. When combined with a
switching hub with IEEE802.3x Flow Control support (ex. FX-08W), the
FW-100TX performs flow control in full duplex to prevent packet losses.
As a PCI bus adapter, the FW-100TX is jumperless. All resources including
I/O base addresses and IRQ are automatically assigned at system startup
