Hey there,

I have the Networkadapter from the Subject on my table.

I found a Driver version in your Driver repository :

https://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid= … &menustate=46,0

and some information in the WIKI.:

https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Viglen_E … ergen_PnP_2000A

Now my Problem, the driver from the package VE20005.ZIP seems to work but die setup utility issent.
Due to the partnumber and the Text in the wiki:

Version 1b
Has small circuit board.
P/N : 142640-406 REV: 01
Driver VE20001.ZIP

I need the VE20001.ZIP. but the Viglen Server disappeared. I can see the File in the Wayback Searchengine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20210116000644/ht … Ethergen_2000A/

But the file is not preserved. I am wondering if some one who uploaded the VE20005 file to the Vogon Server my have also the other ones?
I also searched the web, but could not find the file with my search strategy 😉

It would be greate if some one could help.

Hi @Vetz,
thanks for your quick help.
Sometimes I am in the way of myself.
I thougt Driverguide is one of those fake site, because the link to download looked very suspicious to me.
Again failed one step before success.

The setup exe of package ve20001.zip worked for my card. Driver seems to be a standard NE2000/NE1000.

Here is a picture of the card for those who are interested in.

Good that you got it working!

Driverguide has been around for many many years and while they do try to push their software on you, the driver is available for direct download (click on the filename). I've downloaded many times in the past from them with no issues.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
