(Gateway 6518GZ) I recently installed XP PRO on my machine, read around on the forums and found out that some drivers were not supported for PRO, anyways, did a clean install of XP Hhome. FIRST thing I checked was the Device Manager to see what drivers I needed I have multiple IRQs in the "Other" droplist and the two that concerned me the most was a "Network Controller" and an "Ethernet controller" considering I wouldn't be able to just download my automatic updates and recieve any updates that might be benificial to my situation so I hopped on my dektop and searched around on Gateways site and downloaded the Broadcom network driver and burnt in to a CD and with no avail I still had those two IRQ's, and just in case your wondering I did download all the other necessary drivers and got the other IRQs corrected (Most were fixed by installing the chipset drivers) SO my question is where do I find the drivers for the Ethernet/Network card I got a feeling the answer if right under my nose and my frustration is blocking me from focusing so I am enlisting so help from anyone who want to. I will accept and try any responses and thank you in advance for your help.

Also if anyone thinks this may not be driver related please post your suggestions.

Okay....forget the drivers and all that....Is it an option to buy a LAN ExpressCard and just screw the irqs and be able to regain internet access (considering I connect PPoE)
