5.1 Introduction
The PCA-6185 features single or dual 64-bit gigabit Ethernet networking
interace. This interface supports bus mastering architecture and auto-
negotiation features. Therefore standard twisted-pair cabling with RJ-45
connectors for both 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps connections can
be used. Extensive driver support for commonly-used network systems is
also provided.
5.2 Features
• Broadcom® 5703 or 5704 Ethernet LAN controller (fully integrated
10Base-T/100/1000Base-TX)
• Supports Wake-on-LAN remote control function
• PCI Bus Master complies with PCI Rev. 2.2
• MAC & PHY (10/100/1000 Mbps) interfaces
• Complies to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T interfaces,
and IEEE 802.3 1000Base-T interfaces
• Single or dual RJ-45 connector gives auto-detection of 10 Mbps, 100 or
1000 Mbps network data transfer rates and connected cable types
• 64-bit Bus Master technoogy complies with PCI Rev. 2.2
5.3 Driver Installation
The PCA-6185's Ethernet interface supports all major network operating
systems.
The BIOS automatically detects the LAN while booting, and assigns an
IRQ level and I/O address. No jumpers or switches are required for user
configuration.
Note: Operating system vendors may post driver updates
on their websites. Please visit the websites of OS
