Inspiron 14Z (N411z) Network drivers

Hi,

The network section of the Dell download area shows seven network drivers. Do I install all of them for my system?

Thanks,

Jorge

No, this does not answer the question.  How the heck are they suppose to know which chipset they have!!  I entered my service tag and it lists six different driver packages for Intel ProSet, centrino wireless chipsets.  I need to ethernet driver so I downloaded the Atheros 10/100 driver and It has not added an Ethernet device to device manager nor does device manager discover one.  If you work for dell then give relevant advice, we are not idiots.  We probably already tried installing before coming to the forum.
