Abstract
A networking interface device for coupling a system host having one of a plurality configurations to a network medium. The networking interface device has a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) interface for coupling the interface device to a system host configured with a PCI based system bus interface; a medium independent interface (MII) for coupling the interface device to a system host configured with a media access controller (MAC) based system bus interface; and a buffer management device (BMU) having an active state for bursting data packet traffic via the PCI interface when the interface device is coupled to a PCI based system bus interface and a passive state for continuously passing data packet traffic via the MII when the interface device is coupled to a MAC based system bus interface.
