Ethernet port - AMD A55E controller hub

Post by Arwen »

It would appear that the A55E has a built in 1Gbps Ethernet port.
However, all the fit-PC3 documentation I could find shows that a
Realtek device is in use. For example, this fit-PC3 block diagram;

Is the AMD A55E controller hub Ethernet port un-connected?
Or is it wired to the FACE?
If so, that would be an easy way for getting 2 Ethernet ports for
those few people that need 2 but not 5.

Note that I do realize the builtin A55E Ethernet port may not have
the feature set required by the fit-PC3. So an add on chip may have
been selected.

Here is a reference that shows some of the differences between the
AMD A50M and A55E, (page 2);
