A variety of [[Ethernet]] controllers is integrated into almost all models starting with the introduction of the A, T and X series.
 
 
 
The Ethernet controller is located on either a MiniPCI card, Communications Daughter Card (CDC), or integrated on the systemboard.

In addition, this chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:<br>
 
'''Intel 82550GY'''
 
* {{R30}}
 
'''Intel 82558'''
 
* [[SelectaBase PC Card Enabler with Advanced EtherJet]]

* {{R31}}, {{R32}}
 
* {{T30}}
 
* {{X30}}
 
'''Intel 82562EZ'''
 
* {{R40}}, {{R50e}}, {{R50}}, {{R51}}
 
* {{T40}}
 
* {{X31}}
 
 
 
Driver: [[e100]] (The 'e100' driver is the suggested driver, but '[[eepro100]]' should also work.)
 
 
 
=== Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000) ===
 
Chipset: Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Ethernet<br />
 
Driver: [[e1000]]
 
 
 
This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:<br>
 
'''Intel 82540EP'''
 
* {{R50}}, {{R50p}}, {{R51}}
 
* {{T40}}, {{T40p}}, {{T41}}, {{T41p}}, {{T42}}, {{T42p}}
 
* {{X31}}, {{X32}}
 
'''Intel 82541GI'''
 
* {{X40}}
 
'''Intel 82573L''' (PCI-Express)
 
* {{T60}}, {{T60p}}
 
* {{X60}}, {{X60s}}
 
Note: This chip supports Auto-MDIX, meaning you will never need a crossover ethernet cable.<br>
 
Note: The first signs of explicit support for this chip in 2.6 kernels is with 2.6.12-rc2.
