Additional Notes
This is the winbond unsigned driver drv94018 will unzip to WINXP folder. This is for the legacy combo BNC and RJ45 card. It took me awhile to find this under winbond, that under XP these cards do not work with old drivers!! After install use the ADVANCED tab on the driver page to change to BNC not UTP and it will work!
