The Broadcom is the wireless ethernet chip, I believe. |

Anyway, wired ethernet works fine under Gentoo, but since |
16 |
it is a dual boot laptop, I need to get the wired ethernet |
17 |
working under XP (hence, the OT, in the subject. Wireless |
18 |
is not a concern at the moment. |

Does anyone know where I can download just a working ethernet |
22 |
driver for this chip under XP? (lspci -vvv: |

I'm not sure who's ethernet hardware Nvidia uses. Using lshw I see: |

The original installation partition was Vista and it's gone. I installed |
45 |
XP pro (working fine except for wired ethernet), but I cannot seem to find an |
46 |
ethernet driver. HP is useless.... I did get one fact from the myriad of |
47 |
folks at HP support. There is nothing about the machine that mandates |
48 |
Vista. All of the hardware should work with XP. All they will do is send |
49 |
me a recovery CD. |
50 |
|
51 |
Maybe somebody (more skilled than I at windoz) could help me locate |
52 |
a binary or source code ethernet driver that would work under XP pro? |
53 |
I've googled my fingers off with no luck |
