Ethernet Controller

Expand Post »
I have a dell Studio 540 that default came with Vista 64bit but I went back to XP, the Ethernet controller they have for download on their website is for Vista only, is there one for XP?



Thanks,
Mike.

Re: Ethernet Controller

Hello.
Do you know what Realtek card is in the pc. the above link is for the ethernet and fast ethernet cards (8100). I think the studio 540 comes with gigabit ethernet. The below driver might be better however you should find out what the card is and google it for the correct driver.
