All ThinkPad's produced the last several years have one of three Ethernet controllers integrated.
 
 
 
The Ethernet controller is located on either a MiniPCI card or Communications Daughter Card, or integrated on the systemboard.
 
 
 
=== 3COM 10/ 100 Ethernet Mini PCI Adapter With 56k Modem ===
 
Chipset: 3c556b<br>
 
Driver: 3c59x<br>
 
IBM Partnumber: 22P7594
 
 
 
This adapter is located on a MiniPCI card, together with a 3Com Modem (for which no Linux driver exists). This card is only supported on the following machines:
 
* A20m, A20p
 
* A21m, A21p, A21e
 
* T20, T21, T22, T23
 
* X20, X21
 
* TransNote
 
 
 
=== Intel 10/100 ===
 
Chipset: Various Intel Mobile Ethernet chips<br>
 
Driver: e100
 
 
 
The e100 driver is the suggested driver, but 'eepro100' should also work.<br>
 
On older ThinkPad's this is implemented on a MiniPCI card, on newer ThinkPad's this is integrated into the systemboard.
 
 
 
=== Intel 10/100/1000 ===
 
Driver: e1000
 
 
 
This chip is integrated into the systemboard.<br>
 
Note: This chip support Auto-MDX, meaning you will never need a crossover ethernet cable.
