Internal Ethernet controller
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, Communications Daughter Card (CDC), or integrated on the systemboard.
3COM 10/100
MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
Intel 10/100
Chipset: Various Intel Mobile Ethernet chips
Driver: e100
The 'e100' driver is the suggested driver, but 'eepro100' should also work.
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:
- R50, R50p
- T30
- T40, T41p
- X30, X31
Intel 10/100/1000
Driver: e1000
This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:
- R50, R50p
