Vostro 1000 Network Controller Driver For Ubuntu

I have a Dell Vostro 1000 laptop with a fresh XP Pro install. I'm trying to track down the correct audio and wireless NIC drivers. I've used this Dell support driver page, but the drivers it gives for the service tag and XP OS don't work.

Anyone have links to the correct, working drivers?

Dell Vostro Network Driver

May 14, 2010 - Even when booting from a CD kubuntu cant recognize my ATI driver. Re: ati video board not recognized after upgrade (notebook dell vostro 1000). Its driver was placed in the legacy archive (unsupported for either Linux or Windows). + 1000GB ST31000340AS, Network: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411. Dell Vostro 1000 wifi not connecting. I have pressed the FN+F2 keys to activate the wifi and it doesn't work. Currently i have the computer connected to a ethernet cable and i can. That will be my next step. I will post a link here if I can where i had gotten the information of the drivers for ubuntu.

There are multiple problems here;

  1. When you have Dell search for the service tag it 'claims' that the computer is an XPS 1300 instead of a Vostro 1000.
  2. I put in the correct service tag and it took me to the correct drivers page. HOWEVER, the ethernet drivers will not work with x64 XP. The WIFI drivers do, but the Broadcom ethernet drivers don't.

Still hunting for the correct ones.
