Where can I get Windows* XP drivers for the PRO/100 EISA and PCI Adapters?
No Windows* XP drivers are available for the obsolete Intel® PRO/100 EISA or PCI adapters. The original PRO/100 PCI adapter was discontinued in early 1996 and should not be confused with the later PRO/100 PCI adapters, such as the PRO/100B, PRO/100+, or PRO/100 S families of adapters. The original PRO/100 PCI adapter can be identified by its large size (approximately 6¾ inches long and 4¼ inches high), its part number (351361-xxx) and the presence of 4 LEDs on the mounting bracket.

Where can I get Windows* 2000 drivers for the PRO/100 EISA and PCI Adapters?
A driver for the Intel® PRO/100 EISA Adapter is supplied with Windows* 2000. A beta driver is available for the original Intel® PRO/100 PCI adapter (PILA8465) in the archive 100AW2K.EXE.

Where Can I Get Windows* 98 Drivers?
A driver for the Intel® PRO/100 EISA Adapter is supplied with Windows* 98. The Windows 95 driver for the original Intel® PRO/100 PCI adapter (PILA8465) will not work properly in Windows 98. If you need to use your PRO/100 PCI adapter in Windows 98, you can utilize the real mode driver instead. Follow the procedure below to install the real mode NDIS driver for the PRO/100 PCI. If the adapter is already installed, skip to step 2.

  1. If you do not have the last driver release (3.1) for the PRO/100 PCI adapter, download 100ADISK.EXE from support.intel.com and extract it to the hard drive on the target computer, or to a floppy diskette. Install the adapter in the computer using the drivers in this archive.

  2. Right click on "Network Neighborhood" and select the PRO/100 PCI adapter. Click "Properties". This will bring up the adapter properties. On the "Driver Type" tab, select the button labeled "Real mode (16 bit) NDIS driver".

  3. Click on OK to close this window, and OK to close the network properties. Reboot the computer.
Note: When using a real mode driver, Windows 98 will not be able to go into standby mode.

Where can I get the 3.31 ODI spec driver for the PRO/100 EISA adapter?
