A7N8X-E ethernet not found by XP

On my new A7N8X-E, XP can't find or set-up the fast ethernet port, (not the
Gigabit ethernet port which I am not using). Device manager shows five
"Other" device with yellow? icons as follows:

Ethernet Controller
Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
MS Bus Controller

All five show device manufacturer "unknown" and not working. I can't
distinguish between the Fast and Gigabit ethernet controllers, and have no
idea which drivers to load or where to find them, or what to do.

Also.......Any idea what the last three controllers are?

Also a funny thing....the IEEE 1394 fire wire shows up as a network adapter.

Thanks

Which Chipset is on the Board? You have to install the Chipsetdriver.
