ABSTRACT:
A network adapter formed on a single semiconductor substrate. The network adapter includes a host bus interface circuit adapted to be connected to a host data bus. A buffer memory is connected to the host bus interface circuit and temporarily stores digital information received from the host data bus. The digital information received from the host data bus are reformatted into packets according to a network protocol by a reformatting circuits. A processor and a network interface circuit are connected to the reformatting circuits. The processor controls the reformatting of the digital information. The network interface circuit is adapted to be connected to a digital network employing the network protocol.
