XPS 8300 32 bit ethernet driver available
I just purchased a XPS 8300, and I need to run both the Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems due to some legacy software I have that won't install (or run) on the 64 bit Window 7.
When I boot to the 32 bit Windows 7 my ethernet drivers are not loaded. Does anyone know if the ethernet adapter provided supports a 32 bit OS and if so, how I might find and download the drivers for the ethernet adapter?
Searched high and low....
Thanks

I have the same problem. And you can't get to Windows update without a working network card.

Try one of these:

I was able to get it to work; I had Windows look in both directories at the same time, so I'm not sure which one actually worked.

I had same needs. And the K57 one worked for me. B57 didn't work.
Thanks for the tip!
