Hello,
I am re-installing Win XP on my buddy's older AMD System. His onboard NIC died a while back, and he put in a cheap-o PCI NIC card. He lost the driver disk, and I didn't think finding a Driver would be a problem, so I wiped his XP install and started fresh. Now - I can't find any drivers for this card! I tried a handful of generic drivers from D-Link abnd Realtek, but no-go. The Device Manager has absolutely ZERO information to help me identify this card, and Windows can't even find a generic driver to use (Windows doesn't even know it is a NIC Card ).
The only identification is a chip labeled "DL10030C". After doing 2-3 hours of googling - it appears this *MIGHT* be a D-Link card, but nothing comes up on the DLink site with a search of "DL10030C". There is a S/N and another very long # on the card, but neither turned up any search results in Google.
Granted - I have an extra Realtek based 10/100 PCI NIC card I can give my buddy, but I'd prefer to simply find the correct driver for his card and keep my spare ...
I'd be extremely greatful for any help here. I doubled his RAM, got him runing in Dual Channel mode (some guy on e-bay built this PC for him and put 2 sticks in the "B" channel slots ), and will be completing the XP re-install tonight. He's going top love his "new" PC
