Based on the Intel Ethernet Controller I210, this adapter represents the next step in the Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networking evolution for the enterprise and data center offering Audio-Video-Bridging (AVB) support, along with power management technologies such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC). The Intel Ethernet Controller I211 (I211) is a single port, compact, low power component that supports GbE designs. The I211 offers a fully-integrated GbE MAC, PHY port, and supports PCI Express [PCIe v2.1 (2.5 GT/s)]. Note that the I211 operates without an external flash memory.
