About Ethernet Drivers: Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component. However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. Dell Ethernet Driver free download - Driver Easy, Driver Booster, Realtek RTL Gigabit and Fast Ethernet NIC Driver (Windows 2000/XP/XP 64-bit), and many more programs.
Installs base drivers, Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager*, advanced networking services (ANS) for teaming & VLANs, and SNMP for Intel Network Adapters for Windows XP*. These downloads do NOT support Microsoft Windows XP for Intel Itanium processors.
