I am looking for Window XP driver for my Ethernet wired hardware. The motherboard is
Intel 943GML and the SIW program[System Information for Windows] said it was IEEE 1394

[leroys1000]

IEEE 1394 is a firewire connection,not the ethernet.
The chipset software at this link should be what you need.

Intel 943GML is the description of the integrated display adapter and not of the motherboard.

This is the support site for your Dell Dimension 2400:

http://support.dell.com/support/topi...NT_P4_CEL_2400

The drivers and downloads section has 7 listings under "Network".

It appears the wired network adapter is a Broadcom 4401.

It's not a dell. it's a Gateway Model: ML6228 Laptop

OK, sorry. I was going by your computer specs that lists a Dell.

Your thread sounds real familiar.

Is that a laptop that had Vista installed and was wiped out and had XP installed, and now you're having difficulty finding drivers for it?

[flavallee]

Yep, I was right. I found your other thread:

ah yeah that's one of my other computers :P I spent 3 hours last night trying to find my graphics,wirelss, and audio drivers for this and now allI lack is the Ethernet controller Driver.

[flavallee]

I remember checking the Gateway site, and it didn't list a specific brand and model for the network adapter.

Gateway doesn't make it easy for you, does it?

[big-tony]

Nope. I talked to customer support and they basically told me it was My choice to put another operating system on there then what it was shipped with.. It's like they are Anti- XP on there seeing how all the drivers are vista compatible only.

* Edit: Never mind, I seem to some how miraculously download a random driver and install it and it works now. For future people who see this an have a Gateway Model ML6228 laptop and need an ethernet controller, here is a link for you.
