3Com 3c509B-Combo card (3C509BC), second generation for the ISA 16-bit bus and 10BASE-T, AUI and 10BASE-2. 3Com 3c509 is a line of Ethernet IEEE 802.3 network cards for the ISA, EISA, MCA and PCMCIA computer buses. [1] It was designed by 3Com and put on the market in 1992, followed by the improved version 3c509B in 1994. [1] [2]
It started developing Gigabit Ethernet cards in-house but later scrapped the plans. Later, it formed a joint venture with Broadcom, where Broadcom would develop the main integrated circuit component and the NIC would be 3Com branded. In 1999, 3Com acquired NBX, a Boston company with an Ethernet-based phone system for small and medium-sized ...
NDIS Miniport drivers can also use Windows Driver Model interfaces to control network hardware. [19] Another driver type is NDIS Intermediate Driver. Intermediate drivers sit in-between the MAC and IP layers and can control all traffic being accepted by the NIC. In practice, intermediate drivers implement both miniport and protocol interfaces.
Networking hardware typically refers to equipment facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, this includes routers, switches, access points, network interface cards and other related hardware. This is a list of notable vendors who produce network hardware.
A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, [3] network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface [4]) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. [5] Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.
There needs to be somewhere in Wikipedia mention of the 3C501, the first 3com NIC for the IBM PC. Before this, networking, and especially IP, was considered only for big computers. Gah4 22:13, 30 March 2020 (UTC) The 3C501 was the second 3Com NIC for the IBM PC, not the first. Jamplevia 11:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
3Com 3C100, which is the first 3Com network device [1] On 12 April 2010, Hewlett-Packard completed a previously announced acquisition of 3Com. Following the HP acquisition, 3Com was fully absorbed by HP and no longer exists as a separate entity. The article below explains the portfolio at the time of acquisition.
Vendors were required to submit their cards to Novell for certification which focused on whether the standard Novell driver worked with the card. Interested manufacturers were given a complete package of manufacturing documentation to allow them to start building NE1000/2000 compatible cards without having to do any design work.
