Well, we've got a new nic. I'll see if we can't get Windows 7 back on it if that will work well.

@scottalanmiller Nope. @PSX_Defector The website and all sources say the driver is supported, but the pregram itself says it isnt when it installs.

Widnows 8.1 doesn't support it. Windows 7 is supposed to, but doesn't. We know it worked on XP, but we don't have any liscenses for XP. With the support ending soon, will that be an issue?

Hmm... Well we have an issue then. The drivers were not included, and Windows is Required for the Ethernet NIC drivers. But even with the OS's it supports, it refuses to install due to being "Incompatible With The Found Operating System". Would it be worth my time to spend $30 and buy a PCI-E NIC card and put the machine back on Windows 8?

Does anyone know of a way to put drivers from a windows machine onto a Linux distro? And would they be required to be signed or unsigned?
