Re: Bcm5701 Gigabit Ethernet Driver Windows Xp Download

Google "broadcom driver windows netxtreme". Select the netxtreme I Desktop/Mobile driver. Install via device manager (select location where you unzipped driver). Note, the PCI ID for this device 14e4:1682 is not listed in Broadcom's web page list of supported IDs. However the driver's .inf does include the requisite matching for the new device ID.
I've tried all the possible methods of fixing this. Tested with a different router, disabled ipv6, disabled dhcp on the router and set up a static IP and gateway + everything else that I could find on Google. Nothing works. I tried to install the windows 7 lan driver from the acer support website but unfortunately it throws the following error: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" even with compatibility settings.
In Linux we used drivers v1.2 included into the kernel (r8169).Unfortunately, the driver did not allow to set a larger than standardMTU size,rummaging in the driver depths was not successful either.That's why CNet ProG2000L is one of the two gigabit adapters in thisreview,which were not tested with Jumbo frames enabled in Linux.But even with a standard MTU size (1500 bytes) and a 64bit bus thisadapter was not very stable -in the NetPipe test on a 64bit PCI bus the test sometimes froze(data transfers stopped) at the packet size of 196605 bytes(on a 32bit bus this situation appeared a little later on the verge of262141 bytes).
