I recently downgraded from Vista to XP but I can't find the driver for my wireless lan device. It's for a Toshiba A205-S5831 Satellite notebook.

I looked at all available resources and could not find an XP driver for the wifi. This is apparently a Vista machine supposed to be run with Vista. Sorry.

It would be helpful to know the chipset model number.
You should be able to find it with Everest, here is how:
1. On the left click network.
2. Click "PCI / PnP Network".
3. Reply with what that list shows.
