M51Sn: Review & Owners' Lounge

[E.B.E.]

Nope, sorry about that and also the long string of off-topic messages. Maybe Ken will be able to help you (when he wakes up, that is).

A note by the moderators: As of today 29 April 2008, this thread is also the Owners' Lounge for the M51Sn. Enjoy!

I've installed XP on my notebook. Don't care much for Vista. I have my WLAN up and running. No problem there, but to access my home network, I need to first connect through the LAN cable, but nothing happens when I plug it in. I can see on the Network places on my notebook, that the driver for the card itself is installed and working, but the Ethernet-controller is marked with a '!' so thats the problem. And I've been searhing the net for a driver, but noting seems to work.

Also, I have this unknown divice with the unit-id number: ACPI\IFX0102\4&3AA5AEAA&0

What driver do I need for this thing? Have tried some drivers, but none work.

Whats wrong with me? I used to be good at finding and solving driver problems

Did you install all these drivers from the original drivers CD?

ATK 0100
ATK Hotkey
ATK OSD
ATK Media
Inf Update
Finger Print
EATA
Modem
Ricoh (card reader)
Touchpad
Wconsole (Wireless Console)

is the newer version of the UAA driver compatible with this?

The UAA is built-in in the new Realtec driver and work with XP SP1 and SP2, however, if you have SP3 installed you'll need to install KB835221 hotfix from Microsoft (thanks to thadeej ).

Why is your memory clock on the 9500M GS here only at 400MHz? The nVidia website says that it is 700MHz at stock. Check here http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_9500M.html

Plus I'd push the overclocking to more than that :P

Because the video RAM is DDR2 and if Asus put GDDR3 it'll be 700MHz.

Yes, all that I have installed. It's the Ethernet-controller driver there seems to be missing or someting?! I have looked for about 3 hours yesterday, but I didn't find anyting that could be used...

Can you post the screenshot of your device manager?

[Fone_Bone]

Can anyone give me some information about the ethernet-controller? Maybe one of the drivers at Intel.com works? I need something on what model number it is...
