Intel is damn unclear about what functions are in each chip. The Win XP drivers list the ethernet as "Intel(R) PRO/100 VE" PCI ID: vendor = 8086 dev = 1068 subsys = 81d0104d rev = 03 The marketing page about this platform is here: http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2005/volume09issue01/intro/p05_new_components.htm though it's quite substance-free. :-| I'll keep hunting for what could be going wrong, but any further pointers welcome! thanks all, -Nick Kevin Kinsey wrote: > Nick Triantos wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I just bought a Sony VGN-S380 laptop, which is based on >> Intel's Sonoma platform.
