    I've almost gotten all of the drivers but there are a few that I cannot seem to find for the life of me.

    Here's the list:

    82801 (1CH7 Family) High Definition Audio
    Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
    AR5006 family 802.11abg Wireless NIC

    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    The HD Audio is the Realtek driver, It needs the Microsoft UAA Driver(Installed through Windows Service Pack) before it will allow you to install the driver, and then the last one did you check Atheros's website?

    yeah... the Athero's website doesn't offer any drivers what so ever.

    How would I go about finding the Realtek driver? I am assuming my version of windows is up to date.

    Thanks.

    For audio I used Realtek High Definition Driver (it's like a "big" generic driver). If you do it well I should then detect your modem as it uses the same bus.
    You can download the driver from this link: ftp://209.216.61.149/pc/audio/WDM_R182.zip
    If it's too slow or doesn't work, you have other two mirrors on realtek homepage.
    For video you should use Intel 945GM Mobile Express driver, it can be located on intel's web.
    Hope it helps you.

    I have a vgn-n365e/b and had no problems getting all the drivers. Everything works great in XP :D

    http://www.sony-asia.com/support/download/216766

    There is most of the drivers and basic system software. I also installed the realtek HD audio generic driver, newest intel gma software, newest intel chipset software and generic marvell drivers from their site.

    There is 2 wireless drivers included in that zip from the sony site. a lan-express atheros one, and a intel one.. lan-express is the one you want.
