Hi,
I am running 10.5.x on a Black Macbook and just installed boot camp with Windows XP SP2. I do not seem to be able to find the right windows XP driver to make my ethernet work. I cannot find the exact model of the ethernet chip to get the appropriate driver.
Anybody knows a driver link or the exact model of the ethernet chip ?
Many thanks!
JP.

Use the Boot Camp Assistant (Applications -> Utilities) to create the driver cd in Mac OS.
Black MacBook? You will have to boot to your XP side, and then insert the install DVD of either Leopard or Snow Leopard to get online access. Looking elsewhere for drivers will not likely be successful since Apple has made these things proprietary. In truth you are better off Googling for answers to MS or XP concerns. Apple Communities can address BC issues, true, but once your machine is partitioned Apple stops there - your Windows side is pure Microsoft. To detail the hardware & drivers breakdown just right-click Computer and access your Device Manager. Right-click on the hardware item in the list, and click Properties.
I'm having the same problem and will be downloading this driver shortly. You might want to give it a try as well.

Good luck.
Oops... this doesn't solve your (or my) problem. The following thread discusses the use of the drivers on the Mac OS X disk. It seems to solve some problems

I just spent hours trying to pick the right driver to download from random googling. I never thought that the windows side could see the Leopard install disc. Thank you SOOOO much for helping.
