Congratulations
on your purchase of a PCI Fast
Ethernet adapter.
This adapter was designed and
manufactured to give you years of trouble free and
reliable service.
PCI Ethernet Card
The PCI Ethernet adapter is a high performance
adapter compatible with version 2.0 of the PCI local
bus specification and support Plug and Play (PnP)
function, making it fully auto-configuration.
The adapter supports full-duplex mode.
Full duplex
mode can be used to obtain throughput of up to
20/200Mbps when connecting through an Ethernet
switching hub.
It also uses the Bus Mastering
features of the PCI bus to give high performance
