Hello,

While cleaning up my PC, I deleted:

I tried to search for it to reinstall, but with no results.
Can you please help me?

    You go to this page:
    https://www.broadcom.com/support/download-search?pf=Ethernet+Controllers
    you choose the file corresponding to your Windows system
    in the window that opens you click "accept"
    you download it,
    you unzip it somewhere on your disk
    and you reinstall your network card.

    Hello,
    I made the same mistake except that when I click on the site link; they don't offer me Windows XP! Only Vista, 7, and 8
    What can I do?
    Thank you

    Yes.
    You unzip it, as I told you
    then you go to your device manager
    on your network card
    update the driver
    browse
    and you point to the location where you unzipped it...

    but once I point to the place where I unzipped it, it tells me that I need the internet to connect and search for software... what a hassle

    OK
    So it means the driver is not suitable.
    Do you have details about the type of your card?
    Is it indeed a "broadcom"? What else is noted?

    The card that is on the computer is BCM5701 Gigabit Ethernet.

    nope. not found. sorry.
    some sites do offer the driver, but while downloading a bunch of junk, or installers, etc.
    sorry.

    Maybe wait for the input of another CCM contributor...
    have a nice day.

    Good evening, I would also like to do the same thing and I have exactly the same problem. I need to update this Broadcom NetLink TM Gigabit Ethernet driver, but I cannot find an .exe file. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

      Comment do you go to an HTTP address when the network card is silent? Broadcom NetXtreme is disabled, so there is no connection. The problem posed is: how to activate it?

    you do
    Start
    you type devmgmt.msc <enter>
    you double-click on "network adapters"
    you should see "broadcom netlink gigabit ethernet" or something similar
    right-click on the name
    update the driver
    search for a driver on my computer
    browse
    you go to the folder where you unzipped the files downloaded earlier
    next
    and normally your card is recognized again.
