    Hey guys,

    So I'm still fixing up my nc8430. I'm trying to get it online but I need the driver for my ethernet card. Problem is, I can't figure out which one it is. I've been looking online but they never name which card it is (as far as I can find). Anyone know?

    Thanks!

    I am pretty sure its the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet - PCI Express drivers. they are on the HP site.

    Your talking about the wired connection right?

    Yes, and you're right it is the NetXtreme. I realized I was doing stupid searches on Google and revised my search terms and found the answer pretty quickly - unfortunately I couldn't delete this thread. But thank you for the info :)
