Solve : Driver for a PCI LAN Card.?

Answer»

Hello Everyone,

Bought this card on Ebay a while back in order to connect to the internet. Installed fine but now will not connect to anything. Computer doesn't even seen to know its there. I lost the driver disk for it and was wondering if ANYONE would help me locate it. As it is from a generic ebay seller it is TOUGH to FIND. Thank you!!

Here is what I have on it.

2.4Ghz/54Mbps PCI Adapter IEEE 802.11g
Wireless LAN
FCC CE Made in China

[regaining space - attachment deleted by ADMIN]Really not much to go on here. No manufacturer/no model/no FCC number (or other equivalent). I would recommend that you try to e-mail the vendor and perhaps they can either e-mail you the drivers or direct you to a site where they are available. When you 1st installed it into the computer did you get a "new hardware found" advisory?truenorthRead the chip.  Unable to see clearly.Ya i agree truenorth. Everything is pretty much blank. There is a new hardware pop up but i cant properly install it because the comp has no internet connection.  Chip says:

RT2561ST
G2P3390G0
0951STGoogle RT2561ST
then, Ralink RT2561ST

Choose your weapon.  I like this one:  PCI/mPCI/CB (RT256x/RT266x)If Computer -Commando's links don't solve it then obviously you do have access to the Internet so as i suggested earlier "I would recommend that you try to e-mail the vendor and perhaps they can either e-mail you the drivers or direct you to a site where they are available." If you can get them put them on a removable media (flash-drive/floppy/cd) and BRING them to the affected computer for installation.I am a bit surprised that your windows operating system does not have a generic driver for that card. However I'm not certain if windows does have drivers for that.truenorthIf you can't get that card working, here's a replacement I'll recommend: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=534927&Sku=D700-1026%20P.  With it, you'll be dealing with a well-known manufacturer and you'll no problem getting the driver for it.Thanks a lot guys. Got it working with your links Commando. Was at the RALink site before but I must of DLed the wrong one. Thanks again my nerdy people. The XBMC is alive again!!!! Great,truenorthTo Computer Commando
