    I was having intermitent internet connection problems, so I uninstalled my 6300 drivers. Then did a re-install from my resource DVD. Now my ethernet controller driver is gone...?

    Does anyone know where I can get this driver...?

    Under the same line in Device Manager I also have an "Unknown Device" with a missing driver...?

    Please help

    I think you need the Gigabit Platform LAN Network device driver from their official site.

    dell's support site for the R2 should have the driver you need in the downloads section.

    Change your Resource CD to view all Drivers. It'll be there.
