Reinstalled Windows Vista to an ASUS42F Notebook. Device manager shows a list of missing drivers. The ASUS support site does not list drivers as shown in the OS device manager. Hoping to connect with someone familiar with ASUS products so that I can acquire the drivers for the following:

Base System Device
Ethernet Controller
Network Controller
PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
Unknown Device
