The MX98L715BEC controller is an IEEE802.3u com- pliant single chip 32-bit full duplex, 10/100Mbps highly integrated Fast Ethernet combo solution, designed to address high performance local area networking (LAN) system application requirements.

MX98L715BEC's PCI bus master architecture delivers the optimized performance for future high speed and pow- erful processor technologies.  In other words, the MX98L715BEC not only keeps CPU utilization low while maximizing data throughput, but it also optimizes the PCI bandwidth providing the highest PCI bandwidth uti- lization.  To further reduce maintenance costs the MX98L715BEC uses drivers that are backward compat- ible with the original MXIC MX98715 series controllers.
 
The MX98L715BEC contains a PCI local bus glueless interface, a Direct Memory Access (DMA) buffer man- agement unit, an IEEE802.3u-compliant Media Access   Controller (MAC), large Transmit and Receive FIFOs, and an on-chip 10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX transceiver sim- plifying system design and improving high speed signal quality.  Full-duplex operation are supported in both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX modes that increases the controller's operating bandwidth up to 200Mbps. Equipped with intelligent IEEE802.3u-compliant auto-ne- gotiation, the MX98L715BEC-based adapter allows a single RJ-45 connector to link with the other IEEE802.3u- compliant device without re-configuration.
