I am in the process of downgrading my M-6750 notebook to XP. I have now installed XP and am in search of the all of the drivers. The main ones I am looking for are the ethernet controller, the video controller, and the audio drivers. Anybody have any suggestions on where to look?

Would you want to give the search function a try? Just type in your model number + XP in the search box. You will be presented with many threads and posts regarding your drivers issues

cheers ...

I have already done numerous searches. I found everything except the drivers for the wireless adapter. I am starting to wonder if it is not compatible with XP. The Gateway website says there are two adapters:

Network
6008052R - 802.11n Wireless Mini Card (FRU)
Gemtek model WPEM-104N
6008131R - 802.11n Wireless Network Card (FRU)
Lite On model WN6500M

I have searched the manufacturer's websites with no success, along with numerous google searches. I have also searched this whole forum and have yet to find anything on these 2 particular cards. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

someone mentioned that the Marvell TOPDOG PCI-Express 802.11n Wireless works. Search the net for it, there are many download links for it

cheers ..

A quick question. Did you have to slipstream SATA drivers into the install? I had to as my BIOS didnt allow for downgrading to IDE. With the newer BIOS's they made it a real pain to install XP...
