Re dell vostro 1000

Hi
I have a dell vostro 1000 laptop....

I am having trouble with getting a driver for the ethernet card.

Doesn't seem to be available on dells website......

I got the following device info

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_170C&SUBSYS_022A1028&REV_02\4&B216F0A&0&00A4

If anyone could please help me.......the dell service tag is GHN8F3J

Thanks

 

Greetings, Reddwarf4ever, and welcome to MajorGeeks.

Are you running XP or Vista, 32-bit or 64-bit?

Looks like that's the Broadcom BCM4401 b0 100base TX - you can try the driver from Broadcom but I don't know how proprietary your Dell's going to be about software.

I (and I'm sure other MGs) will keep looking for a Dell driver - there's a good chance it's included with a chipset driver package. For reference: this might also be a Marvell ethernet product.

 

You could give this a try:

Hi worked like a charm

Thanks

Dont know why this isnt on dell with my service tag.

 

Dell tends to only show specific updates under your service tag these days. To get any other common hardware updates for your PC, you have to select the "All related drivers" option.
