Wired Networking Drivers Update -- Intel, Broadcom

Question

Intel and broadcom both have recent driver updates available for XP at least (late feb 2007).  It's been a while for broadcom especially, so grab them if you need them   broadcom:  http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php   intel: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?Inst=Yes&ProductID=879&DwnldID=4275

The intel release fixes this problem (as did the previous version): http://lz1.intel.com/psirt/advisory.aspx?intelid=INTEL-SA-00006&languageid=en-fr

Just make sure you are patched for it.

Otherwise, as far as I could tell, base100 drivers were not changed for intel compared to the next most recent release but the base1000 were (which is integrated into some dells).

edit: I also use 7-zip (pick your program of choice) to extract the driver folder from the package. I don't do anything that actually requires ProSet be installed.
