Updating Your Drivers
If your network adapter isn't working after installing your
driver, you might want to look at installing updated drivers from the
manufacturer's web site. Open your Web browser and head to the vendor's site,
where you should be able to download an updated driver.
Below are some vendors of wireless networking equipment and
their support sites, where you should be able to find the latest drivers.
3Com (support.3com.com)
Compaq (www.compaq.com/support/files/networking/)
D-Link (www.dlink.com/tech/)
Linksys (www.linksys.com/download/)
Proxim (www.proxim.com/support/software/)
Netgear (Figure 8.4) (support1.netgear.com/netgear1/)
SMC (www.smc.com)
Intel (support.intel.com)
Using an updated driver can get a network adapter up and
running when you can't seem to get your computers communicating. Using the
correct driver can also increase the throughput speed on your network.
