Xp Support

By jjtwelve on Jun 30, 2008

" "

I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellie A305-S6837 and it was shipped with Vista but I downgraded it to XP because of some software compatability issues. Most of the downgrade went well but I was unable to locate a driver for the ethernet controller and base device. Would appreciate if you could send me the location of these drivers.

Thank much

You can try this

Downgrading on a system that didn't ever ship with XP is problematic at best

This is the chipset, should take care of the base device
