Ethernet Controller Driver

According to my device manager I don't have an ethernet driver installed. I tried to find the driver in Dell's driver download area but nothing is labeled "ethernet driver". I'm assuming it should say ethernet, correct? My Dell CDs that came with the computer are missing. Any words of advice?

Look here for your wireless nic. Look here  for your integrated nic.

Thanks but, I've already looked there. Nothing says "ethernet". Am I being too literal? Can it say something else and be an ethernet driver? I'm using a DSL connection.

The driver I gave you for the integrated nic is the ethernet driver for your network card.

Ok. Downloaded and installed the integrated NIC driver and device manager now shows an ethernet driver installed. Unfortunately, the only time the ethernet connection is used is when the wife takes the laptop to a hotel so can't check it out right now. Sure appreciate the help. Cheers!
