Default PC/Laptop experts Driver prob on Dell D600

Bought a Dell D600 Laptop its been wiped of all drivers.

ive managed to do all the display and sound driver but cant get wireless or ethernet driver working! i thought if i plugged the yello ethernet cable from my router it would automaticly sort itself out but no.

cant even go wireless i went onto Dell Drivers site and cant find a ethernet driver there?

i know a lot of people use this laptop on here as its a good mapping laptop!
any help?

Weird.
Ethernet and Wireless drivers seem to be there when I look.

I'd guess you want "Broadcom Driver - Gigabit Integrated controller" for the internal ethernet and "Intel Driver - Pro Wireless" for the wireless.
