[SOLVED] Cannot find windows xp pro driver for my ethernet controller

wrenchn · 04-14-2009, 01:25 PM

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4707 laptop .It came with Vista on it and I formated the hard drive and installed win XP pro I was able to find all the drivers needed even the wireless card for internet connection and it works great,Problem is I cannot find the driver for the Port to plug the Rj 45 internet cable in. I checked in device manager and it does confirm there is no driver for it. It is a PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV-4353&SUBSYS_FF101179&REV_14\4&192AC53F&0&&00E0 The last 4 0"s might be O's Can't tell for sure if this # can't be found.
Again I can connect to the internet with the WiFi card just not the port where you plug the Rj 45 cable in.So I really need to find a driver that will work now I have got rid of that aweful Vista . Thanks in advance gcolson@peak.org

and welcome to the Forum

See if this is it:

http://www.marvell.com/drivers/drive...o?driverId=126

If not, try the Unknown Device Identifier to see if it can ID the NIC
