HELP!!!! need Ethernet drivers for A8-n Sli Premium!!

duncsharp · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:04

i bought a b grade a8 sli premium and cant find ethernet drivers for the onboard eithernet connection

please point me in the right place

i have checked the asus website and there are no specific drivers for this, would the chipset drivers cover this??

im downloading the chipset drivers now, hopefully that will do it, is it neccessary to get the cool and quiet drivers or not bother?

also are the any other drivers that i should try and get hold of?

Cool n quiet no if you are overclocking.

The ethernet drivers are there as well.

duncsharp · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:13

are the ethernet drivers with the cool and quiet drivers?

or are they with the chipset driver?

vanandjuanunited · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:16

They are separate.

sorry, im probably being really stupid but i can see them on the asus page: http://support.asus.com/download/download_item.aspx?product=1&model=A8N-SLI Premium&SLanguage=en-us#

could you link me to the page with the ethernet drivers?

thanks a lot

Follow link and then drivers about half way down.

ive had a good look on that page and all i can see that could work are:

chipset drivers - which only make a floppy disk

cool and quiet drivers

other than that i dont see anything else that is relevant apart from a new bios version

Click on drivers tab then about 10 entries down there are ethernet drivers.

One of us is blonde and it aint me cos I am bald.

the link isnt working properly i guess..... just not getting the ethernet option

im only getting about 8 options in totall on that page,

i am probably being stupid but could you send me your link cos mine aint workin i dont think!!!!

vanandjuanunited · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:51

The link is the one I posted earlier but you select the drivers tab.

duncsharp · 26 Apr 2006 at 16:53

ive found the problem, the link i was using wasnt working for some reason, so when you click on the tab it does nothing!!

i have gone through the asus website and now it seems to be working, thanks for being patient, that must have been very annoying!!

cheers for you help

sorry was one last thing, is it neccessary to update the drivers for the chipset, if so how do you do it?

i have put the files onto the floppy, whats the next step?

cheers
