I salvaged the card from my old HP piece of shit media centre PC, it's like 4 years old or something. Anyway the bloody HP website says the drivers are unavailable through the website, the CDs that came with the computers are useless and the original manufacturer's website doesnt even have it. I've gone through countless broken links to try and find these drivers. I refuse to call those ****ers at HP for this trivial shit. I've been going at this for hours already. Help please.

EDIT: Sorry if i sound like a pissy maniac I've been going at this for the past few hours and I'm extremely frustrated and tired.

Is it a seperate card or built in your motherboard? What's your motherboard model and brand if it's built in?

Seperate card.

The one I'm trying to install it on is a Asus PQ5 Pro.

Gosh I tried copy pasting the WN5401.sys from my old computer's drivers folder to this one, to no avail.

It's a PCI card, this is the relevant link on HP.com.

Try this:

I actually downloaded it from Driverguide but you have to register, so I uploaded it to Rapidshare.

Thank you very much.

Also, turns out I was try to install to the wrong thing in device manager, instead of the Unknown Device, I was trying to install drivers under Ethernet Controller lol.

Well now at least the drivers show up under network adapters, but when I installed it I got Error Code 10 which said it couldn't start so now there's an exclamation mark on the icon. Could it be because I still have Ethernet Controller and SM Bus drivers not installed?
