Installing
the Driver Software
When Windows first starts after a new hardware device (such as a Broadcom Ethernet
controller) has been installed, or after the existing device driver has been
removed, the operating system automatically detects the new hardware and prompts
you to install the driver software for that device. When the Found New
Hardware Wizard starts, click Cancel.
|
NOTE: A network device driver must be installed before the Broadcom Ethernet
controller can be used with your Windows operating system. Drivers are
located on the installation CD.
|
To install the driver software
- Insert the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive.
- Open the Drivers folder, which contains the Setup.exe file, and then double-click
Setup.exe.
- Click Next, and then click Yes to agree
to the License Agreement.

Setting Power Management Options
You can set Power Management options to allow the operating system to turn
off the controller to save power or to allow the controller to wake up the computer.
If the device is busy doing something (servicing a call, for example), however,
the operating system will not shut down the device. The operating system attempts
to shut down every possible device only when the computer attempts to go into
hibernation. To have the controller stay on at all times, do not click the Allow
the computer to turn off the device to save power check box.

 |
NOTES:
- To enable Wake on LAN (WOL) when the computer is on standby, select
the Allow the device to bring the computer out of standby
check box.
- If you select Only allow management stations to bring the
computer out of standby, the computer can be brought out of
standby only by Magic Packet, regardless of the settings in
Wake Up Capabilities.
