    I have a client that has a VGN-AR520E and wants XP on it to run certain programs that won't run on Vista. Unfortunately this is looking to be a major PITA since Sony doesn't publish drivers for XP on this laptop. Is there any good way to find these drivers? I can figure out the video/audio/SM Bus and stuff like that, but I'm not sure how to locate the ethernet drivers. It's got a Marvell ethernet controller, but I don't know what chipset it uses so I can't download the driver off the Marvell site.

    Anyone know the type of Marvell controller on this laptop?
