Pros
Wi-Fi seems to work.
Cons
Endless, unrepairable issues with Ethernet, rendering hardwired connections unusable.
Summary
Seems like nvidia got half-way done, decided that was good enough, then abandoned this.
Alleged latest driver?

Pros
easily downloaded
Cons
appears to be in conflict with system (vista)
Summary
This driver stated to be the latest driver, however loaded the driver then system states the driver is corrupted, unable to roll back to previous driver, therefore unable to connect to network/internet

Pros
It was easy to download and install, BUT...
Cons
The product description CLEARLY SAYS: Windows 2000/xp. THIS DRIVER IS FOR VISTA!! I looked everywhere to find the nvidia lan driver for xp and I ended up here, downloading 8 Megs for a VISTA DRIVER!!! Does not work on XP!!!
Summary
The description and "quick specs" is horribly wrong. Waste of my bandwidth for something I was not trying to download.
THANK YOU again for helping me!
