What does a LAN controller do?

Unless I got the terminology mixup, it's the Network Interface Card or port (NIC). The most common at this time is a 10/100 NIC with RJ45.

With the correct protocol, it allows communications between computers belonging to the same network. Perhaps the networking forum might be able to give you a better answer.
 
Oops....sorry. I should have explained. I meant what does it do when built into a motherboard such as with the Intel 850 MV? Does it take the place of a NIC?
Thx
Gary
