how do i see what network card i use?

Post by romulo27 »

im using a laptop, that like, uhh has EVERY PIECE SEALED TO EACHOTHER and i cannot open it, is there any other method? tried using hiren`s bootcd and see what network card driver it uses to make internet on my laptop work, but apparently its a windows PE driver, not a real windows driver, and that will never work on reactOS


im thinking about reinstalling windows xp back on my laptop to see what network driver it used

Hi, what do you mean by a "Windows PE driver" (wrt. "real Windows driver")?

All I know about the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) is what I read on the Internet. I thought WinPE, like BartPE and HBCD, used the same drivers that Microsoft Windows uses.

If a Web search cannot reveal the specifications of remolo27's laptop, a LiveCD of Linux or a reinstallation of Windows might be necessary. Scanning the hardware of a PC that lacks an OS is a job that the rumored ReactOS hybrid .iso on a USB disk could accomplish with the aid of CPUID or similar program.

You could use the trial version of AIDA64 to detect what nic it uses.

You do realise that it is not necessary to place spoken colloquialisms into text, it just confuses.

"I'm using a laptop that has..." would do and you could then save those extra letters for sentences elsewhere or perhaps for some punctuation in your posts.
