Unable to get network working due to lack of network driver...

Hi.

I am playing around with Windows Vista Beta 2 b5308 since I just
installed it today. I have no network due to lack of network driver
according to Device Manager. Ethernet Controller shows a yellow "!".

Where can I get the driver from? According to Windows XP, it uses a
Yukon Marvell network driver. I have not found a Vista driver on the
Internet. I also do not have the original CD/disks that came with this
motherboard/computer.

Thank you in advance.

I have the same network card. It might be worth trying the 64 bit XP
drivers that are available, but there is no guarantee that they will work.
I don't think the Vista drivers have been released yet.

Forgot to say that I'm not testing Vista myself as yet.

You could try using the Windows XP driver or check the manufacturers website
for available drivers or beta drivers that currently support Windows Vista.
At least get in touch with the manufacturer to make them aware of the issue.

Uh, where are those 64-bit XP drivers at? Remember, I don't have the
original motherboard CDs/disks.

OK, there are XP drivers. I will try those.

OK. BTW, this is for ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard with its onboard
Marvell Yukon Ethernet Gigabit device.

Could you send me a copy of Symantec AntiVirus for Vista by e-mail since you
work there?

No can do. I am not even in that enterprise group.

It installed, but it doesn't seem to find the Internet. I cannot connect
to any Web sites. Pinging seems to work. Accessing my Linksys router
(192.168.1.1) via Web (IE7) doesn't seem to work.
