Well, I for one won't download from a site that I have to pay for or register to use.
Provide an alternate download location or link to the original files or they won't get added.
You requested them to be added, you do the legwork!

Have a nice day.

Well we don't need updated drivers... just the old / original ones, they may be still on the site but just not linked anymore .

Hi, thanks for your kind words - I had noticed similar compliments to others so I just mimicked their posts : )

About both my posts for these old drivers - yeah, in the case of both manuf they've been disappeared. I had wanted to provide OEM-linked drivers but neither were avail. In fact for Linksys they don't even have *any* mention of this old model on their website that I could find.

About the drivers I did link - I've confirmed that both the links I provided match the drivers I've had downloaded for a few years but there's gonna be no hope of getting ones directly from the manufacturers any longer.

I don't know that an email to Lecroy will bear any fruit since they won't even update drivers for 'bigger' hardware to support Vista (based on a USB filter-driver hack someone implemented to make the XP driver work on Vista).

Lecroy has owned CATC for at least 4 years now, based on my own notes of having downloaded my driver from Lecroy (but not saved the source URL, which I do nowadays) in 2006.

BTW catc.com and lecroy.com resolve to the same numeric addy.

Anyway thanks for your consideration, hopefully these can be included even though they're beyond end-of-life in the manuf's eyes.

well it looks like Catc was bought by lecroy and while i had no problem finding the owners manual, drivers were not so easy to find and their site is so slow i got the impression that it is hosted on a dialup modem

here is the link to the owners manual

perhaps an email to lecroy may yield a link to an archive of drivers somewhere .
ftp://catc.com is still live but anonymous access is denied
same for lecroy...

All missing drivers are welcome! The point of our project is to be all inclusive .

I checked and they are in fact missing from the LAN pack.
- I still have to check to see if they are already included in a 3rd party DriverPack...

Thanks for your excellent details and links in your first two posts.
It is rare that I don't have to point a new user to "read before you post"

Very well done! Cudos!

Welcome to DriverPacks.net and have an awesome day!

Jeff

PS We will have to see if we can help you to find some better links... keithm is definately not an OEM or manufacturer source, and driverguide is not really a primary choice either... We only accept drivers from original sources, like LinkSys, Dell, Gigabyte, Nvidia, Intel, ATI, etc...

There's one other USB ethernet adapter I have/use but this one is *very* rarely seen AIUI (and way olde, too) so I don't know if it would warrant inclusion, but in case...
