Friends,
I have a compaq pc with windowsxp sp2,recently i needed to add an external networkcard, the vendor had given an Intex ethernet card for Rs 200/- and said it works properly in all systems,
it came with drivers on floppy
but on starting windows detects a ethernetcard but refuses to accept the drivers on floppy, also tried searching on google for drivers but windows refused all those drivers also[including Myson MTD80X LANNIC and Retech8139D drivers].
the bios detects it as pcibus=3,device=1,function=0
so it it problem of intex or compaq
should i return this card?
thx for ur suggestion.

no cyrux,it says
1=on boot=>ethernet adapter found
2=welcome to the hardware update wizard
3=wizard gives 2 options=

a=install the software automatically
on selecting this=says=cannot install this hardware,click back if u have installation media
b=install from a list or specific location
on selecting[network adapters] ,searches for sometime then says =unable to find any drivers for this device,gives option ="havedisk"
on giving location of driver ,says="specific location does not contain information abt your hardware".

fine , i guess XP doesnt have the right drivers for your card, but thats no problem . When you have an active internet connection why dont u serach for your card's drivers on the internet. I am sure your going to find it on intex's website. No need of banging your head on that floppy.

tried intex's website, but they offer no drivers on website,on google search found that many people says this card doesn't work on xp easily
also tried many drivers from Retech[people said intex uses Retech chipset]but no use
