Its your deal man, so do whatever you want to. From what I've across, all microsoft does is distribute their "broadband software" CD. This software detects whatever hardware you have and then downloads the driver from them. But, I could be wrong. I have one of the CDs around here, let me see if there are drivers packed on it. Edit: I found the disc and it has drivers on it for a bunch of MS network hardware. If you could tell me what files you need or if you just want the whole disc we can get some FTP deal setup.
