To start off I will give the specs of the computer:
Intel D815EEA http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/filter_results.asp?strOSs=18&strTypes=BIO%2CDRV%2CUTL&ProductID=385&OSFullName=Windows*+98+SE&submit=Go%21
SOHOware NIC http://www.sohoware.com/span/new_sohoware/newfiles/subpages/product/sfa100a.htm
Windows 98SE
512MB
My problem is that I open the device manager and I have a exclamation point on PCI Ethernet Controller. I have tried and tried to find the correct driver and I found everything I think I need for the board and the nic. I don't know what to do. Without that I can not install the nic or a modem.

Jump to PostAny chance of trying a different NIC just to make sure your current one isn't faulty?
What about using the "Add new hardware" wizard? Maybe you can force the driver on that way...
