I need to find and load the drivers (Win98) for the integrated network adapter in my Optiplex Gx1, (Service Tag: 6E2LN), but I've been unable to learn what that adapter might be or what and where to locate drivers. I would appreciate whatever help I can get.
In searching for the right drivers for the Gx1's adapter,
I ran into several post on forums claiming that there
was a problem removing the drivers (or similar drivers, if I
understood correctly). Moreover, there was the claim that if they
were there and another plug in board was installed, the conflict
would stop either from working. In the mean time, in order to set
up my DSL service while I had the use of the companies techs, I
bought a board (D-Link DFE-530tx+) and installed it. It is
working in the Gx1 fine. However, my initial idea was to set
up an older computer, which has no integrated network adapter as a
linux box and server, so it would be useful if I could install the
drivers for the Dell's integrated adapter without causing some
conflict. Have you any ideas on that or reccomendations on this?
I truely do appreciate your help and considerations.
