I would have Never figured out to use a Marvel driver for a 3Com product. It worked...exactly the way you said including the bit about Windows Vista updating to the 3Com driver as soon as I could get to the update site.Kudos to You! And many, Many thanks!!Dyrek Hello…

Again, I've had them working on the P4P800 with the 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) onboard networking under Win XP (may or may not work on similar models). It cured the WoW downloader warnings, allowing the downloader to go at full speed. Other than that, there didn't seem to be any perceivable difference from the old drivers.The files are self-extracting exe's. Once the drivers are extracted, you'll have to go into Device Manager, find your network adaptor, and choose "Update Driver". Then browse to the location of the new extracted drivers. I don't recall whether or not it brought up a warning dialog.In the event the driver doesn't work for you, you can either try rolling back the driver, or booting into safe mode (if things go really bad) and deleting the network adaptor, then restarting the computer and letting it auto-detect the network card upon the next boot.
