Or should I just disable the existing card at properties? That's what I do . . if you uninstall the driver, windows will "discover" it on the next boot and reload the drivers


I was thinking of getting the Linksys Ethernet desktop adapter LNE100TX, or the Linksys Gigabit network adapter EG1032, one more, NETGEAR® 10/100 MBPS PCI Ethernet Network Card. I could also spend the extra bucks and go wireless. Just a waste of all that wire and the possible introduction of other things to go wrong.
