General Description
The Realtek RTL8100B(L) is a highly integrated, cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet controller that provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. It also supports the Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI), PCI power management for modern operating systems that are capable of Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power management possible. The RTL8100B(L) does not support CardBus mode as the RTL8139C does.
In addition to the ACPI feature, the RTL8100B(L) also supports remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet, LinkChg, and Microsoft® wake-up frame) in both ACPI and APM environments. The RTL8100B(L) is capable of performing an internal reset through the application of auxiliary power. When auxiliary power is applied and the main power remains off, the RTL8100B(L) is ready and waiting for the Magic Packet or Link Change to wake the system up. Also, the LWAKE pin provides 4 different output signals including active high, active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse. The versatility of the RTL8100B(L) LWAKE pin provides motherboards with Wake-On-LAN (WOL) functionality.
