Does this mobo have an ethernet card?

[robertsmcn]

I'm buying the following mobo for a friend. He has cable modem internet service. Does the cable hook up directly to the motherboard? If not, does he need a separate ethernet card?

Here it is at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-434&depa=0

Onboard LAN: Realtek 8110S GbE

If you look at the 2nd image on newegg's site you can see the ethernet port above the USB ports and to the left of the audio ports.

Ya know, I was looking at those pics of it on Newegg's site and thought that I was looking at a com port exactly where you pointed to, Tennesota. Okay, so that's it? No ethernet card necessary? Cool. When I built my rig two years ago, I bought a separate ethernet card (mobo is an Abit KR7A-133R), so I guess motherboards have gotten more sophisticated since then.

I chose that board because it seems to get rave reviews. Again, I have an Abit and have only built one system. Many users seem to be happy with MSI, so we'll see. Seems like a solid board.

Thanks, fellas.
