It's been over a year since I got my Alienware Area-51m2 (766) and due to some recent problems I've been having I decided to do a clean install and start fresh. After a successful installation the first thing I always do is pull up device manager and make sure all hardware devices are good to go. The following had the yellow exclamation marks next to them:
- Base System Device
- Ethernet Device
- Audio Device
- Video Device
I installed the audio/video drivers obviously no problem off the Alienware web site, but I'm having problems finding drivers for the "Base System Device" and "Ethernet" device. The only hardware I don't see in the device manager are the A+G wireless card and the 3-in-1 card reader. I used the driver search functionality to search my Master CD but it couldn't find anything suitable. Has anybody done a clean install of Windows XP w/ SP2 included that can offer some input into where you obtained the drivers for these two devices.
