Need Ethernet Controller Driver

[Magnum]

I have a missing driver for a Ethernet Controller.

It's a H.P. 6730b.

I looked on the HP site, but they must call it something different.

What other names are there for it ?

Not having it is not leading to any problems.
Maybe because I use a wireless connection.

the hp 6730b is a computer - not an ethernet controller
if you have the original CD for the laptop (or the OEM rebuild partition), you can find the driver there
otherwise, that computer model may have used different ethernet cards, so you'll have to find the appropriate driver

for most ethernet adapters, windows has the driver built in, so you must have a bit of an oddball

I have an acer and they have a good site that checks my serial number and shows me a list of all the drivers I need. they do have a registration page for registering your laptop it may help

I think they would call it network driver.

My search for 6730b found 3 possible models, and two of them included Ethernet NICs.

Thanks MichaelW,

Linux doesn't show anything missing.

Everything is working A-O.K.
