| A NIC or Network Interface Card is a circuit board or chip, which allows the computer to communicate to other computers on a Network. When connected to the network, computers can share websites, files, printers and other resources. The most popular networking standard at the moment is Ethernet, which one can recognize by the rectangular connectors with eight wires in them. Wireless network with the 802.11b and the faster 802.11g standard is also increasingly popular, both at home and in the office, though it is not yet as fast as wired (ethernet) network. A public place where you can use wireless internet is called a "hot spot". |

10/100Mbps PCI Card for PC
D-Link's DFE-530TX Fast Ethernet adapter is a high-performance Installable in a Pentium or Pentium Pro PC equipped with PCI expansion slots, this adapter turns a desktop into a high bandwidth graphic/multimedia workstation or a power server running at full-duplex speed.
Powerful Performance
The adapter operates in the 32-bit Bus Master mode, delivering throughputs

at multi-megabits per second with little stress on the Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet completely without any host's CPU. Supporting PCI clock speeds independently of the network clock, it transfers data directly to/from the host's memory, by-passing the CPU to alleviate the host's workload.
Easy Migration
The adapter allows users to migrate from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet in easy steps. 10BASE-T users can upgrade to 100BASE-TX anytime without changing driver software or network cables.
Network Security
Network administrators can install optional boot ROMs on the adapters to implement network security. Diskless workstations equipped with these ROMs can remote boot from NetWare or Windows NT servers and access authorized data.
Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Interface
The adapter's single connector connects to either 10BASE-T Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet completely without any need to set configuration. It detects the connected hub's or switch's capability and auto-negotiates to use the highest available speed.
Full Duplex Support
Full/half duplex operation is auto-detected in both 10BASE-T Ethernet to Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX modes. When connected to a switch in full duplex, the network speed can be increased to 200Mbps, making the adapter an ideal NIC for high-speed server deployment.
Comprehensive Driver Support
The adapter supports all major network operating systems, including NetWare, Windows and Linux.
