What is my network adaptor ?
I'm trying to upgrade from Win 2000 to Win XP. In the middle of the installation the laptop gets into a loop because it crashes when it cannot find the network driver. So I need to manually insert the driver onto the hard drive. I have the drivers CD which came with the laptop...but this has lots of different drivers on it. How do I find out what network adaptor I have on my laptop & hence which driver to use ?
From the Dell website I can only see how to discover how to interrogate the specification of my laptop if I am connected to the website using the laptop...but I don't have a working laptop/operating system right now, so this isn't much use.
Any suggestions, anyone ?

ec96,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
The integrated nic on the system is a 3Com 3C920 card. You may also have found this by performing a hardware scan on the system. You can use the one on the Dell web site.
