Network Card Driver

Question

Hey Guys, I recently had to format and reinstall my Dimension 2350 as it was infected with a virus.  I reloaded Windows XP, but am now having a problem with my Network Card.  I believe I have a Broadcom 440 10/100 integrated NIC.  After the reinstall, I found that the NIC is not listed under Network Adapters in Device Manager.  Rather, it lists my Ethernet Controller under 'Other Devices.'  I utilized all the CDs that came with my Dell and none of them have the driver for my NIC.  Can someone please tell me where I can get the driver for my NIC?  Thanks in advance!

Before the network adapter can be recognized properly and drivers installed, you have to install the chipset drivers for your motherboard.  These should be on the Resource CD. Steve
