To obtain the latest version of a driver, go to:

Search for “3CR990B” and “drivers.” The network driver can be used in both Microsoft

2 Double-click the My Computer icon, the Control Panel icon, and then the Network
icon.
3 Select the Adapters tab.
4 Click Add.
The Select Network Adapter dialog box appears.

are typically located in C:\I386.
