New intl100 Driver
intl100 is a new PCI 10/100 Mbps full duplex ethernet driver based on
the 82559 chipset. It allows the cpu and the interface card to work in
parallel on the memory buffer descriptors and batches transmit
commands if the incoming rate is more than the service rate. As a result,
this driver offers:
• improved efficiency, compared to older drivers
• improved overall system performance caused by fewer interrupts
• increased network load handling
intl100 supports cards with an RJ45 connector, 100Base-TX card
A6792A, and is similar to, btlan. Because the architecture of the 82559
chipset is different from the 21143 chipset, the hardware dependent
routines are different.
The intl100 driver comes pre-installed for all applicable PCI 100Base-T
cards.
