I have tried both XP 32-bit and 64-bit drivers from Nvidia which is the
hardware provider. None of them worked. I realized Longhorn was different
OS, and I shouldn't expect it to work. I did notice there was a "driver"
directory in the Longhorn installation CD. It provided some net drivers for
some a few net cards as the supplementary drivers from Longhorn. Therefore,
I was wondering if somebody already had these specified cards would have a
successful installation on the network for Longhorn.
