Internal Ethernet controller
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.

MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
Intel Fast Ethernet (10/100)
CDC and MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
- Ethernet Daughter Card (EDC)
- Intel 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K Modem
- Intel PRO/100 SP Mobile Combo Adapter
- Mini-PCI Ethernet card
- Xircom 10/100 EtherJet Mini PCI Adapter with 56K Modem
In addition, this chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:
Intel 82550GY
Intel 82558
Intel 82562ET
Intel 82562EZ
Driver: e100 (The 'e100' driver is the suggested driver, but 'eepro100' should also work.)
