Inspiron 580 -- ethernet drivers?
Trying to rebuild an Inspiron 580 after failure of boot drive. Installed new drive, new Win7, but lack drivers for most stuff. Can't connect to ethernet because no driver. Can't find driver because no ethernet means no internet. Have disks from Dell for drivers, but install program won't work - claims computer is not a Dell. Any suggestions short of buying a new computer?

Hi david530,
Thanks for posting.
Apologies that you were unable to download drivers for your Inspiron 580.
Here is a link to the network drivers for that machine. http://dell.to/2iDjNZc
You can download them onto a USB drive, then insert the drive into the 580 and install it. Then you can download the remaining drivers from that same page.

Good luck with that! When I went to that page you referenced and typed in Ethernet Controller it came back with no matches for the filters I input. I can't believe Dell just deleted all the old drivers they had stored away.
