Intel 82575EB Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet Controller PCIe x4.0 LP (FC EKA3)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EKA3 adapters.

Overview

The Intel 82575EB Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet Controller PCIe x4.0 LP is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 2 (Gen2) x4 adapter. The adapter can be used in either an x8 or x16 PCIe slot in the system. The adapter offers a high-performing PCIe 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection. It also improves flexibility and performance in a virtualized environment in multi-core systems by lowering interrupt overhead and providing sorted multiple data queue paths.
