OldSchool38 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Since getting back on cable-praise the Lord! I'm not using 56k anymore which had win2k drivers, the problem ison my Biostar g41d3c motherboard, the device manager says the ethernet is 'Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20). The last time I tried to make it work, I couldn't install the thing-even with extended kernel! Is there an older driver for this Ethernet device that's usable?

OldSchool38 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Tried the driver but still no luck, I went ahead and ordered a pci ethernet card with windows 2000 compatibility-luckily it seems there are still plenty of those around!

tomasz86 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Avoid Atheros if you plan to use Windows 2000. I've tried everything to get the driver work in Windows 2000 but nothing worked. In the end I had to use an old PCI card instead. Among the popular manufacturers, Realtek is the one that still officially supports Windows 2000 in their drivers.
