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.
