Introduction
Fast Ethernet is a relatively new standard of networking built specifically for
speed-intensive network applications like video-conferencing, multimedia
development, imaging, and complex databases. Capable of sending and receiv-
ing data at 100 megabits-per-second in half-duplex mode, and 200Mbps in full
duplex, Fast Ethernet technology is at least 10 times faster than traditional
10BaseT networks.
Built to run with the fastest network applications, the EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN
Card is a high performance network adapter for desktop computers with 32-bit
PCI expansion slots. The EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN Card is ready to run with
both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks right out of the box – the card's 10/100
combo RJ-45 port automatically detects your network's maximum speed and
adjusts itself accordingly.
The EtherFast

10/100 LAN Card from Linksys also features Wake-On-LAN
(WOL) event management. If your PCI motherboard has built-in WOL support,
you’ll be able to utilize this unique management feature. You can remotely turn
on any computer with a WOL network card. The ultimate in 10/100 network-
ing is yours! If you don’t have WOL support on your motherboard or you have
no need for it, don’t worry — your EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN Card will operate
normally anyway. If your mission critical applications require blinding network
speed, the EtherFast
®
10/100 LAN Card is the best value for your networking
dollar.
