The RTL8029AS controller is an NE2000 compatible Ethernet Controller for PCI interface. Taking the benefit of PCI's high throughput rate, the RTL8029AS controller offers a 32-bit data path to highly improve the data transfer rate compared with traditional Ethernet card on ISA, EISA and MCA bus. Due to the additional benefits of PCI, the RTL8029AS controller provides a low maintaining cost network environment without usage barriers. The Auto-configuration function of PCI can relieve the users from pains of taking care the system resource conflict. The RTL8029AS controller also supports full-duplex and power down features. With three levels power down control features, the RTL8029AS controller is made to be an ideal choice of the network device for a GREEN PCI PC system. The full-duplex function enables simultaneously transmission and reception on the twisted-pair link to a full-duplex Ethernet switching hub.
