ABIT IC7 Network Problems

[maximummaximus]

I just recently installed the latest chipset, audio, and video drivers for my ABIT IC7 motherboard from the manufacturer's website. I'm experiencing a driver conflict in device manager with the onboard network card. What I've installed should be all the necessary drivers and I can't seem to find a valid network driver anywhere on the internet. I'm using Windows XP 32bit. Thanks in advance for any help!

IC7, IC7-G, or IC7-MAX3? The IC7-G doesn't come with an onboard network card, so you might wanna check again and make sure you dled the correct one from the site.

It's just the plain IC7.

Plain IC7 doesn't have an onboard network card.

You will notice also that the IC7 has its network port covered by adhesive foil. This is because although the IC7-G has onboard Intel CSA Gigabit LAN, the IC7 has no network connection at all. I can't remember the last time I saw a high end board with no LAN capability at all, and I can't help but feel not including at least a 10/100 NIC is a bit stingy.
