Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet Device

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.

Thank you for the help.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this at all, how do I reinstall my network card?

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.

I will be more careful in the future^^

Can you mark the subject as "resolved," please?

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

Hello,
thank you, but there is no exe in the zip; so nothing to install! :(

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?

It says this device cannot start.

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

Very difficult to find an XP driver for your card...
I am looking...

pfff is it because it's XP? it's an old computer

Still nothing? :(

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.
