Xandros 2.0 is an old and discontinued distribution. The driver was merged into the kernel and therefore should work if you installed a current distribution. Please post your computers hardware specifications.

What problem you are having?

Which kernel version?

Output of command 'lspci'.

Intel has been a great supporter of linux for decades. Generally they offer drivers for their products online for various distros and kernel levels.

If you can't get a linux kernel you may be able to use ndiswrapper to get a windows driver to work.

Yes, and with your advice I have pursued this. Now my next Newbie Question:When I click on the .exe file (driver file) it opens and installs somewhere that I can't find, even with the Tools - Find Files/Folders option using the *.inf file format as a search handle.
How do I control where this file opens to? If I could control where it opens to, I could then find it to install it for use.
