  • Network card
    Patent number: 10419227
    Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC), comprising: a Gigabit Fiber Transceiver; a Gigabit Ethernet Controller; a Gigabit Ethernet Switch; and a microprocessor unit (MPU), where the MPU initializes the Gigabit Ethernet Switch to pass Ethernet packets unmolested between the Gigabit Fiber Transceiver and the Gigabit Ethernet Controller, where the Gigabit Ethernet Switch maintains a link between the Gigabit Ethernet Controller and the Gigabit Fiber Transceiver whether or not a link speed between the Gigabit Ethernet Switch and the Gigabit Fiber Transceiver matches a link speed between the Gigabit Ethernet Switch and the Gigabit Ethernet Controller, where the MPU configures the Gigabit Ethernet Switch to match a link speed between the Gigabit Ethernet Switch and the Gigabit Fiber Transceiver with a link speed between the Gigabit Ethernet Switch and the Gigabit Ethernet Controller during normal operation, and where the Gigabit Ethernet Controller can respond to a Wake on LAN (WoL) request from a network.
