My onboard lan was screwed up so I bought a new intex lan card, with a "VISTA SUPPORTED" logo on the box.

But when i tried to install it ,it doen't get detected.

The CD provided with the card doesn't has any vista folder. :@

My motherboard is ASUS A8NVSE.

Now I am not able to get the drivers for the card , so can anyone please help me on this.

I have uninstalled the previous onboard driver and disabled the onboard lan from BIOS.

Please help me .:(
 
yes , I checked it online but didn't find any driver for vista supporting this card. All I could find is the same driver supporting xp.
 
Use everest benchmark to identify the manufacturer of Lan chip..If its Realtek, then download driver from realtek site.

After googling, i found Intex Lan Cards comes with Lan chip frm Silan Microelectronics, you can find driver on silan site aswell..:)
 
The chip on the lan card is of Realtek. Its model no is written "RTL8139D"

and below this is written "83301S1".

I tried with Realtek driver for vista from Realtek's website ,but still it doesn't get recognized.

The silan website didn't have any support for this , it only shows the info about the chip. There are no downloads available on their website.

I also tried with windows inbuilt drivers and got a list of drivers but recommended drivers were of Silan. But when i tried to install them, it says that this device is not working properly.

So what to do now ?
 
Its a fake 'realtek'.The POS gives me bsod left, right and middle in xp when i open a bit of connections (anyone have a solution?),but no problems in vista surprisingly.Ive struggled to find x64 drivers,then gave up.

Anyway ive had vista drivers in cd supplied with it,which is uploaded for ya

moral of story : never buy these sort of junk.
 
OP buy Enter stuff next time if u have to buy cheap! Saving some money and later getting bothered with the product is foolishness!
 
leomax is absolutely right. Intex keeps re-labelling chips from random manufacturers as Realtek. I'm surprised they're still at it. Thats probably the reason the Realtek drivers aren't working.

Two options :

1. Find the right manufacturer/model of your card and then get the right Vista drivers

- Open up the .ini files of the XP drivers included with your card to figure out which chip the drivers were written for.

OR

- Head to 'Device Manager', find the entry for your card. Head to the Details tab. Look under Hardware IDs. Note the string "VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx" , then google for the string to lookup which vendor/device that corresponds to.

2. Buy another card. I'd recommend a D-Link. Marginally more, but much much more reliable.
 
Have you tried that XP drivers came with CD on Vista ? you can do it by updating drivers from device manager.In 75% case Ethernet drivers for XP works in Vista without any problem.
 
1. Something that hasnt been mentioned: Is this Vista 64bit?

2. Cos I had one of these as well. It works fine on 32-bit vista, but there just arent any drivers available for this particular Intex model for Vista64. Believe me, I looked.

3. I finally gave up, chucked it into the trash and got a DLink LAN card :)
