ethernet card
Wired connection hardware
An ethernet card is a hardware component that connects a computer to a wired network, allowing data transfer through ethernet cables.
Also called a network interface card or NIC.
Once a separate expansion card users installed themselves, ethernet capability now comes built into most computers: I had to replace the ethernet card when my desktop stopped connecting to the network.
