Where to get the Pro1000 LAN driver for PXI-8232 card

[THEEDGE714]

I am using a tester that has been configured in the past some time.  I had to move a couple of cards around because I needed my PXI-6713 card in slot #2 to be able to synchronize it's clock to other analog output devices.  When I moved it into slot 2, I had to move my PXI-8232 GPIB/LAN card to a different slot.  When I re-booted the machine it asked for the drivers to install the 6713.  I pointed it to the NI device drivers and it installed them just fine.  However, when it asked for the drivers for the LAN portion of the PXI-8232, it couldn't find the drivers it wanted automatically.  I searched throught the NI device drivers and couldn't find the exact file it was looking for.

Does anyone know where I am supposed to get the drivers for the LAN portion of the PXI-8232 card??  I would have thought it would have found them in the NI stuff, but it says it is looking for some Intel drivers???

Any help appreciated!

Hi THEEDGE714,

You can find drivers for NI products by going to ni.com/drivers and searching for your device number. I went there and found this:

Sounds like you already have the 488.2 driver for GPIB. Download the EtherCAT driver from this page to support your ethernet port.

Hi Doug,

The following KB may assist you as it points to the Intel drivers.
