Most nic cards now use the Realtek 8139 chip, so if you find generic drivers for this chip, it normally solves the problem. try finding something like "SiSoft Sandra" or similar. Should help with your hardware ID

drivergenius pro is something that works well for this kinda stuff as well... Id recommend installing it and once you've got all your drivers, create an exe file with the wizard in it and thats all you need next time you format- it will create an exe containing ALL your drivers so no more disks everywhere.... :-)

I try to attach it but it failed, so if anyone wants to play about with it, PM me and ill email it across....

If your using windows XP then it should detect card automatically. Other wise the the program called Everest.

Driver Magician v3.1

Driver Magician offers a professional solution for device drivers backup, restoration and update in Windows operating system. It identifies all the hardware in the system, extracts their associated drivers from the hard disk and backs them up to a location of your choice. Then when you format and reinstall/upgrade your operating system, you can restore all the "saved" drivers just as if you had the original driver diskettes in your hands. After one system reboot, your PC will be loaded and running with the required hardware drivers.
What"s more, Driver Magician has a built in database of the latest drivers with the ability to go to the Internet to receive the driver updates. It saves lots of time to find the correct drivers and mature drivers will obviously increase the performance of hardware. If there are unknown devices in your PC, Driver Magician helps you to detect them easily and quickly with its built in hardware identifier database.

Unknown device identifier is also very good for this job.
