Hey All, I've been tinkering for several hours trying to rectify this issues on my own, but I'm running out of patience, which is what brings me here. TSF has been a wonderful source of knowledge for me in the past when I become stumped and I was hoping once again to be enlightened. I am having a problem finding a driver for the integrated LAN on this aOpen i945Gm PILF motherboard. Actually two drivers, but the other device is 'unknown'. ATM I have a PCI Ethernet card in it, but I want to utilize the integrated one.

I'd also like to determine what the Unknown device is as well and clear all exclamation points from within the device manager. Here are a few avenues I have tried already. First off aOpens website does not even list the i945Gm PILF MB, go figure, but that is how it is labeled in bold letters right on the MB and this is also what CPU-Z identifies it as. Incidentally, Everest HE seems to think it is a i945 Ga PLF for some reason and by downloading the drivers for that board I was able to install the drivers for the audio and chipset, but the LAN driver (realtek R6.21) does not work. I have tried many other resources by googling 'aOpen i945Gm PILF MB drivers' but thus far nothing has done the job. I have installed 'Unknown Device Identifier' but much of it is Greek to me. The only LAN/Ethernet I seem to be recognizing is the Netgear adapter I have in the PCI slot.
Can anyone assist me? OK whatever works I guess. By viewing the specifications for an aOpen i945Gm PILF MB on a vendors website I determined that the integrated LAN was a Intel 10/100 LAN or Intel Gigabit LAN. By using this info I did a Google search and was directed to a Dell LAN driver on Cnet.com, which actually worked even though this system is bench built from scratch.
All that leaves now is the 'unknown device' Everything appears to be working fine without, but I'd like to leave no stone unturned if at all possible and determine what the device is and install its driver also. Maybe this will help as well. Not sure why the Netgear adapter is still listed as I have removed that card from the system and rebooted several times since. It is no longer listed in the device manager either. Must be in the registry, eh? Using the device instance ID you asked for I did a Google search which brought me to By following the address suggested by the poster (be aware there is explicit language in the post) I was prompted to download a zip file entitled 'AMDAway' from ASUS support (the site appears to be in Japanese incidentally).

I then opened the device manager, right clicked on the device, clicked update driver and directed it to the extracted file. It loaded the driver, or so it appeared and the exclamation point is now gone.
I am guessing that it didn't really load a driver, but instead installed an INF file (or of the sort) to tell fool XP into thinking that it is installed, or something along that line anyway. Should I not have done this? Everything appears to be working fine.
