introduction
1-2
Interoperability with existing Fast Ethernet equipment compliance with the
following standards and protocols:
IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet
IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet
IEEE 802.3u Auto Negotiation
IEEE 802.3x Flow Control
Standard Ethernet frame size (up to 1,518 bytes)
Jumbo frames support
Adaptive interrupt frequency
Adjustable interrupt hold-off time to minimize CPU utilization, therefore
maximizing PCI bus and network throughput
33/66 MHz, 32/64-bit PCI bus master (Local Bus Revision 2.2 compliant)
with adaptive DMA channels
Two independent DMA channels for simultaneous read and write operations;
as a bus master, the network card requests access to the PCI bus instead of
waiting to be polled
Software driver support for Windows95OSR2,Windows 98,Windows NT,
Windows 2000,Windows Me, NetWare 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, and Red Hat Linux 6.1
and 6.2
Universal dual-voltage signaling (3.3 V and 5 V)
