The Realtek RTL8139/810X is an onboard Ethernet controller
The Realtek RTL8139/810X is a single-chip onboard Ethernet controller, equipped with a flexible multi-function mode. Released in 2003, it was produced by Realteck Semiconductor Corp., a company that specializes in developing integrated-circuit technology and is based in Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park, Taiwan's own "Silicon Valley."
Features
The RTL8139/810X onboard Ethernet card is equipped with a PCI, and Boot ROM share interface, which is harnessed for both EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory) and flash memory. This allows the card to simplify management procedures, as well as optimize network security. The Ethernet card also offers ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) management to provide efficient power management for the latest operating systems. The RTL8139/810X onboard Ethernet card supports analog auto power-down function, and comes with an auxiliary auto-detect power function in order to further curtail power wastage.
Test Configuration Details
The RTL8139/810X card possesses an adapter bus width of 32 channels, and utilizes bus mastering as its adapter transferring method. It possesses both half- and full-duplex communications modes, an RJ-45 connector, and also comes with both a multicast mode, and a promiscuous mode. Its transmission line speed is 10/100 megabits per second.
Primary Driver File
The RTL8139/810X card originally employed the RTSSRV.LAN primary driver file (86,911 bytes, released on April 3, 2002).
Driver Support Files
In order to function properly, the RTL8139/810X card originally required the following three driver support files to be installed: ETHERTSM.NLM (13,035 bytes, released on Jan. 27, 2003), MSM.NLM (100,958 bytes, released on Jan. 24, 2003) and NWLANLIB.NLM (422,990 bytes, released on Jan. 29, 2003). Drivers have been constantly updated to allow improved compatibility.
