there are drivers built in, which are quite often better than those
provided by the manufacturer. linksys, they probably use a generic
chip, but a different set in each version of the card, so, you look
based on model number, for instance, i have network adapters that are
from different manufacturers, one is on the motherboard, the other on a
card, but they both use the generic tulip driver. once you know the
model, we can go from there.
