Aros/Platforms/x86 Network support

Introduction
This is useful to get on the internet and to transmit information around a network.

Wired Network Adapters
There are a growing number of supported network interface card (nics)


 * 10 mbit/s (up to 10 meg broadband) rtl8029 3com900
 * 10/100 mbit/s (up to 100 meg broadband) 3com905 intelpro100 rtl8139 pcnet32 sis900 viarhine rhine nforce bcm44xx
 * 10/100/1000 mbit/s (over 100 meg broadband) rtl8169 e1000

The following specific chipsets and drivers are also available - use Tools/PCITool to confirm Vendor and Product IDs or in the case of USB, use Trident Gui in the Prefs drawer.

For example, the chipset model AR5004x contains 1 AR5112 ROC (Radio on Chip) PHY and 1 AR5213 Processor/Controller MAC. The AR5213 chip sits in the middle between the AR5112 and the rest of the system, so the system only detects the AR5213, while the AR5213 handles the AR5112...

Wireless Bridges Repeaters
You don't need a driver for a wireless bridge, but you do need one for your ethernet card.
