Download PCI\VEN_100B PCI\VEN_100B&DEV_0022 National Semiconductors® DP83820 10 100 1000 Ethernet Drivers

Device drivers are the software interfaces that talk directly to the physical network hardware and are required for the hardware in the computer to communicate with the operating system. A "driver" is the name given to the software interface that allows the operating system to communicate with the hardware. If the network device is not performing as expected then it is likely that the driver is not working correctly. A PCI\VEN Code can be split into pieces that correspond to manufacturer of that hardware. The first part, the "PCI\VEN_", is specific to the hardware manufacturer, National Semiconductors® has the PCI\VEN code of "PCI\VEN_100B". The "&DEV_" part of the code relates to the category of the hardware, in this case the "DEV_0022" category is "Network" hardware. A list of compatible device driver software for the National Semiconductors® DP83820 10 100 1000 Ethernet device is shown below.
