Determine Network Card Model: Step-by-Step Guide to Identify & Find Network Adapter Info

Question

Hello, I have a question, how can you check what your network card is, because I do not know what headsets to download (typing in cmd ipconfig / all does not work). Thanks for the reply

Install Everest and read it there, or in the case of an integrated one, enter the name of your motherboard in the search engine and look for the specification of the network card.

You can also try to read the 'PCI device listing ...' table right after turning on the computer (depending on the BIOS) - assuming that this network network is PCI based :wink:

Under Windows, on the other hand, through Device Manager, you can enter an unrecognized device and read it from the tab -> Details -> Hardware identifiers (Vendor, Device) and find it on the network.

But you also need to know it, or know where to read it CpuZ will help - it works without installation and weighs little

WojtasJD · Answer

First, write the system versions.

Thanks for the answers. Windows XP SP 3 operating system

zwyklyczlowiek · Answer

In two ways: First:

1.My computer (right key)> manage
2. A tree appears on the left side
3.Click on "device manager"
4. On the right side you will have all your devices including your network card.
5.As you click on it, the network card dialog box will open, or rather the network connection and tabs:
General
Advanced (configurable)
Controller
Details
Resources (I don't know about the Polish version)

Second:

1.Click the network connection icon on the taskbar
2. Right click on the local network connection and select "Properties"
The same dialog box as in the first method will be displayed.

For now, I cannot check these methods, because I am not at home, and I even have an Ethernet output where USB is. Cheers and thanks again !!!

And I suggest: Start-> Run -> (enter) CMD -> (in the window that appears, enter) ipconfig / all The description line should include the card model or its chip name.

mar1aczi · Answer

If your friend is looking for drivers, it means that he has a card not installed yet and ipconfig will not help. Read the whole thing He wrote above that ipconfig is not working

Darrieus · Answer

But colleagues have ignition. ;) That is, it is integrated, it is enough to enter the motherboard model, which will be written like an ox on the motherboard itself or in Everest. Next, this is the website of the motherboard manufacturer and the model and drivers for it will be given there.

Darrieus · Answer

By eyes or Everet, with the network card it is not so easy, especially if it is not installed, Everest will not recognize it and the board will always ;) You can still read the model from the LAN chip, just explain to someone where it is and that it looks like a chocolate cube there are 101 ways and some more.

mar1aczi · Answer

CpuZ will also show the board model Probably the second tab, if I remember correctly.

Darrieus · Answer

We will not bid for soft cpu-z works, of course. 3rd tab.

michalek95 · Answer

My network card is Realtek RTL8201 Phy, but I'm still having trouble finding the controls.

I found this on the Realtek website:

Q9: Why don't I find RTL8201x driver on the website?
A9:
RTL8201, RTL8201BL, RTL8201CL, RTL8201CP, RTL8201N and RTL8211B (L) are all PHYceiver. That is a driverless hardware device. Software driver are relative to Network controller (MAC) which is integrated into chipset in such case mostly. Please contact your mother board maker or chipset manufacturer to obtain proper driver support.

Will translate or explain to me what is going on (I'm weak from Angola).

Greetings

Darrieus · Answer

Don't look for a hole all over, just check the motherboard model.
All drivers will be on the board manufacturer's website.

Please contact your mother board maker or chipset manufacturer to obtain proper driver support.

I wrote the same above "in Polish".

WojtasJD · Answer

The RTL8201BL (maybe you have one) is an integrated circuit that sits near the RJ-45 jack and mediates between it and the network controller that is probably in the southbridge (or single-chip chipset) on your motherboard. RTL8201x is nicely named PHYceiver - it operates on the physical layer and does not need drivers ( driverless hardware device ).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHYceiver

You have to look at the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard or the chipset on the board (which may include the southbridge).

alvaro99 · Answer

Best open yourself box and read the name of the motherboard. You will surely notice a large writing in the middle Then you already know what to do, because colleagues already said it 3 times.

Thanks to the net it works. best regards
