Hello everybody!

A friend of mine gave me his old pc, becasue the system crashed. I have succesfully reinstalled it, however the internet connection not working. I noticed that the on board lan card is dead, so i placed a lan card to the PC. It is a really old card, and i don't find driver for it. I think win7 or vista driver will fine.

The device is unknown auto detect didn't work, so i only got this information:
PCI/VEN 8E2E DEV 3000

Can anybody help me finding the right driver for that card?

Thanks for your help.

Solution
You could do a couple of things. If you can borrow a USB wifi adapter and download and run Simdrivers, you might be able to get a working driver for the realtek controller, other wise use a USB to wifi or ethernet adapter.

Thanks for your help. Yeah it's really old, but i have another: VEN 10EC DEV 8029. I just found wireless driver for that, but it's a wired lan card. So if that is not working i don't know what to do, because the onboard lan card driver seems to be fine, but not recognizing the plugged cable (green light not turn on). The onboard card is a Realtek RTL8139.

Thanks again for the help.
