It was only £4 from Amazon,but I cannot get it to work.The thing came with a mini disk of drivers,but no windows 7 drivers(Vista downwards).
It has no name on it and is made in China.
The one I am using didn't need drivers,it just worked so I was expecting the same from this.
Windows says it cannot find drivers,does anyone have any ideas(apart from throw it in the bin!)or should I just spend out and get another one.
Any recommendations?
Cheers to any answers

The vista drivers might work.

If not open, open device manager, right click on the entry for the NIC and select properties, then click on the details tab and select hardware IDs from the drop down menu, if you post back the top entry somebody might be able to find you the driver.

The information should look like this.. (this is the value from my own card)

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10CE&SUBSYS_2501025&REV_00

Thanks Chuck, I tried it and when I select Hardware IDs I get two options that appear (Not in the dropdown menu)
They are:
USB\VID_0FE6&PID_8101&REV_0101

USB\VID_0FE6&PID_8101

Which one should I pick?
Mind you, I clicked on both, then clicked OK, and tried to start my browser. Nothing.
Please help,
thanks in advance =D
I'm willing to bet it will not be seen/identified in 7, given your info so far.
