Driver for Adaptec AFW-2100 FireWire adapter

[Maria och Martin Davidson]

Hi,

I have huge problems in getting my Adaptec AFW-2100 FireWire adapter to work
in my Dell Dimension 4700.

Unfortunately I can't manage Dell support to actually support me with a
driver.

The driver I currently use is the Windows XP home edition built in IEEE
driver.

Does anyone have a better driver for this adapter? I would sincerly
appreciate it...

/Martin

Googled for a bit, and there doesn`t appear to be any other driver.

What kind of problem? (won't install at all, hangs system, doesn't transfer
data?)

Of course, if you have SP2, you've been mooked anyway most likely.

I've been told that this is/was not available via windows update, so go
manually. :)

In theory, you could snag a copy of the Windows 2003 drivers which I would
guess to be newer.

Can you verify the part number by looking at the chip? The -04 had lotsa
gotchas, the -05 a little less, the -06 is not bad.
Differences in -05 and -06: http://www.agere.com/entnet/docs/AP02066-1.pdf

Finding a driver other than the built-in is going to be difficult...why
write one if one's built in? You might search around agere.com if you're
feeling lucky. :)

Good Luck
Paul
