| subject: | Re: PCI hardware ID in WinUpdate a Lost Cause |
From: "Geo"
I have 2 intel pro 100 cards, they use different drivers, even the intel
install routine can't tell them apart so I have to just try one driver then
the other to figure out which one is required. The one that works is the
right one. I have a third intel pro 100 that is built into a dell server,
it has to have the dell driver or the machine doesn't reboot without a hard
power off. So that one isn't even Intel's fault.
