Description

The Realtek RTL8411BN is a highly integrated and cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet controller. It provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. The RTL8411BN supports the Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI) and PCI power management for efficient power management. It is designed with a 100 pin LQFP package and integrates the Fast Ethernet MAC, physical chip, and transceiver into one chip. The RTL8411BN supports 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s N-way auto-negotiation operation and is compliant to PCI Revision 2.2.
