You would get the drivers from either the motherboard mftr. (if your NIC
is onboard) or from the NIC mftr.'s website. If there are no drivers for
Vista and the XP ones won't work, if you have a desktop simply throw in
a PCI NIC that you know is compatible with Vista. Basic NIC's are under
$20. If you do this, disable the onboard adapter in the BIOS.

Also, try going to Device Manager (Start > "devmgmt.msc"), right-clicking
your NIC, and selecting "Update Driver..." Have Vista check the CD or any
folder the driver installer created including subfolders; you can usually
use an XP driver with Vista, but many installation programs refuse to
install on a version of Windows they don't recognize. You can bypass that
by letting Vista install the driver.
