Technical Reference about fast-etherenet, CSMA\CD

I'm a student of electronic engineering. I desperately need
information (or Links to one on the web...) about:
1) Internal Structure of etherenet lan cards
2) Information about programming drivers for the above.
3) Using the CSMA\CD protocol and its specifications.
