imgeorge Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Does anyone know a general way (software, web resources, from packaging) to find out what chipset a network adapter uses? It seems to be a fundamental issue to me to get the networking working, even if I'm willing to buy a new adapter. Thanks a bunch!

Baliw Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 You can try Unknown Devices its free, this is what you need Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4052-determining-the-chipset-of-network-adapters/#findComment-26167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaiOSX Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Unknown Devices helps you find what those unknown devices in Device Manager really are. By checking Device Manager for unknown devices and extracting information from it, this program attempts to figure out what the device is. You might not have to open your case or look up random numbers off of PCI cards to figure out what they are. This software is useful only in case that you get unknown devices in Device Manager. Everest is really useful, by listing "all" your hardware.

Baliw Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 My answer is yes and no, I have used Everest and Sisoft Sandra they will tell what kind of hardware you have in your computer (which is very good) but they will not tell you what kind of chipset of a particular pci card is using.
