Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller

What is Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller?

The Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller connects a PCI workstation to a 10/100-Mbps Ethernet network. The BCM440X LAN on Motherboard device is a fully-integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC/PHY. Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller features combination 10/100 Ethernet, fully WHQL certified software drivers for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, internal 64-entry Content Addressable Memory (CAM) for perfect address filtering. The state of the network link and activity is indicated by the two LEDs on the RJ-45 connector. You can set Power Management options to allow the operating system to turn off the controller to save power or to allow the controller to wake up the computer. If the device is busy doing something (servicing a call, for example), however, the operating system will not shut down the device. The operating system attempts to shut down every possible device only when the computer attempts to go into hibernation.
