CptMurphy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 This looks like a hack that you can use: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/Win...aptercards.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Broadcom software usually allows teaming of NICs other than Broadcom cards - you may want to download their driver package for their gigabit NICs and install the software that comes with them to see if it will work on a machine without any Broadcom adapters (it might - and it'd be free).

nmX.Memnoch Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 If they're Intel NICs the PROSet software supports it natively (but only for Intel NICs akaik). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
