I just installed windows 98 on a machine that had windows me. (used a new
hard drive) I can't get on the internet, and the icon in device mgr. is
yellow. It can't find the driver on the windows installation disk.
It is a Compaq 10/100 pci card. I need to find a place where I can download
the driver from another computer, put it on a cd and transfer it to the 98
SE machine.
I looked on Compaq's website with no luck
Any help would be appreciated.

You can't get a part number off that card?

SP#227955-001 CT P425901AFLLYVR9 AS#225882-001

FWIW, a Google search suggests that Compaq's p/n 225882-001 is an
Accton NIC:
http://www.accton.com/homepage/index.htm
If "001085 D8A735" is the NIC's MAC address, then the following URL
suggests that this address was assigned to 001085 Polaris
Communications, Inc:
http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-845.html
Otherwise, if you meant to write "0010B5" rather than "001085", then
the MAC address belongs to Accton Technology Corporation.

I think this may be your driver set:
http://www.accton.com/homepage/main4/driver/EN1207D.zip
Or search for "SP15530.exe" at HP's support site.
Or go here (10/100 MPX EN5038A):
http://www.network-drivers.com/drivers/29/29584.htm
Here is a photo of an EN1207D-TX NIC:

Does it match yours?

I was unable to get the downloaded drivers to work, perhaps because this was
a ME machine I changed to Windows 98se. I found it easier to purchase a new
ethernet card with a driver cd for $22.00.
thanks for all the replies
Philip.

NICs are so cheap, it probably isn't worthwhile to fuss with one
for which you don't have a driver readily available. Replace it.

You need to find the manufacturer of the card's chipset. The easiest
way is to take out the card and record the part numbers of the biggest
chips. Otherwise you can try interrogating the software, as follows:
How to use Registry Editor to identify an unknown PCI device:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298837/en-us
PCI Vendor and Device Lists:
http://www.pcidatabase.com/
You can also retrieve PCI device info (eg vendor and device IDs) using
PCItree:
http://www.pcitree.de/
Alternatively, try running msinfo32.exe.

if you can ID the card...you should be able to get the driver from
