Ethernet Controller for my VERIZON-DSL
« on: November 07, 2006, 11:26:23 AM »
Hey, I just recently installed a new dual-boot on my PC with Ubuntu Linux & good 'ol Windows XP.

Well, Ubuntu picked up my Westell 6100 modem perfectly and no work on my end was required.

Now with Windows, there is not even a LAN connection showing up in my "Network Connections".

It does inform me that new hardware was found but can not find the correct driver for the Ethernet Controller.

... and if any of you have had experience with Verizon DSL discs, they are a pain in the *censored*.

So I suppose I'm asking if anyone knows where I can get this Ethernet Controller driver?

I tried installing the Nvidia Nforce, but I'm not sure if that was correct (considering it didn't help much).

Thanks in advance....

Ethernet controller drivers have nothing to do with your modem right now...

I suspect you will find them on the Mainboard driver disk that came with your machine.

Unless it is an add-on card then a driver disk would have came with the card.

After installing them and re-booting it should automatically detect your modem
