Macronix MX98715-Based Ethernet Adapter (Generic) by ShawnZ on 07-29-2005 at 03:46 PM
Okay, i just got vista installed, and guess what, it doesn't come with the driver for my NIC. Now all i know is that windows xp uses the generic Macronix 98715 drivers for it, but i cant seem to find all the files it comes with, and if i try to install the offical macronix drivers it does not work.
Can anyone help?

You probably won't find much help here, since so few will have Vista. Assuming you're a beta tester for MS, try contacting them about it.
If you're not an official MS beta tester, why do you have Windows Vista?

Simply for the sheer hell of having it. But thats beside the point.

Most companies won't have support for Windows Vista yet, this is the main reason it has been released to developers. So they can DEVELOP the software to work. I'm afraid unless you either contact the company of the adapter or MS; not much you can do I'm afraid.

Well, there's always http://www.windrivers.com/. You never know if some code junkie has made a driver.

Omfg ok. Listen, the XP driver works fine with vista afaik because ive had it working before. im just wondering if there is a DOWNLOAD link for it, because its a built in generic driver and i cant find it.
