The Advent support site is rubbish. All drivers/utils they list are
easily available else where. The ones that can't be found elsewhere
aren't given. Useful. However...

OLDER
Advent Laptops/Notebooks and most Advent PCs are made by 'Medion' a
German firm. Their website supplies ALL drivers, utils etc for your
laptop by the Medion (MD) model number. This you will find on the back
of your laptop and will usually begin with a MD- reference (ignore the
Advent model number ****).
Stick this model number, or your serial number if you're using a PC, in here:
http://www1.medion.de/downloads/?lang=uk and it will list all the applicable drivers for your notebook.

Advent Laptops/Notebooks a Tawainese company called ECS manufacturer
the Notebooks. You will find the 'ECS' number on the back of your
laptop, similar to ECS-G610 for example (thats the model number for the
Advent 7091). This can then be used to search for relevent
drivers/BIOS' etc here:

Advent Laptops/Notebooks a company named as Gericom manufactured the
notebooks (also known as Gericon in Germany it seems) and also sold
under the name's of 'Mecer', 'Acer' and 'Uniwill', among others. These
have model numbers similar to N340S8 etc.
Tracking drivers for these is pretty hard, but these guys seem to still have them on an old section of their site:
http://ftp.mustek.co.za/drivers/list.php?dir=Repository%2Fand by product name (which wasn't used by Advent)
http://www.acomp.hu/pub/gericom/Notebook/also from the actual source (Gericom) but by product name again
