Overview

This is the network driver for the Gateway(r) Luxemburg, South Lake, South Lake 2, and South Lake 3 motherboards.

Note: Drivers for other operating systems are also provided within this archive.  However, Gateway has not tested and does not support the drivers with these other operating systems.  If installed on a computer running one of these operating systems, the drivers may not be compatible with some programs on your computer.  Contact the affected program's publisher for more information.

The BIOS prefix SE91510J is constant and specifically identifies the correct motherboard.

If the computer is turned on and in Windows:

1.  From the Start menu, click Shut Down.  In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, select Restart, and then click Yes.
