Chapter 5 Ethernet Driver Installation
5.1. Introduction
IA71 Motherboard is equipped with the Realtek RTL8111B Gigabit Ethernet controller
combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controller (MAC) with a
triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, PCI Express bus controller, and embedded memory
inside. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, it offers
high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbits/s only) cable.
Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive
equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error
correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capability at
high speed conditions.
The device supports the PCI Express 1.0a bus interface for host communications with
power management and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3u specification for
10/100Mbits/s Ethernet and the IEEE 802.3ab specification for 1000 Mbits/s Ethernet.
It also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect function, and will auto-configure related
bits of the PCI power management registers in PCI configuration space.
