KINGSTAR 2.5 Supported Network Interface Cards
Introduction
This document lists supported Ethernet adapters and controllers for use with KINGSTAR products (out- of-the box).
Note: In the tables that follow, the KINGSTAR version listed is the first version that supported each device. All future versions of the device are supported, unless the status is marked as deprecated.
KINGSTAR Soft Motion
Status legend:
| Status | Description |
 |
This tested adaptor or controller works with KINGSTAR Soft Motion. |
 |
This adaptor or controller was tested using KINGSTAR Soft Motion. The manufacturer has listed this chipset as End-Of-Life, and it will likely be deprecated in a future release of KINGSTAR. |
 |
Althought this adaptor or controller was not tested with KINGSTAR Soft Motion, it should work correctly. |
