When you install the 2914 series network adapter on your computer, your
next step is to install driver software onto your Windows operating system.
You can install driver software using Device Manager or using the silent
installation method.
When you install driver software using Device Manager, the dialog boxes
guide you through the installation process. On the other hand, using the
silent installation method, you can install software without constant
interactions by suppressing dialog boxes.
Here are the guidelines for installing and updating the driver software on
your operating system:
To install or update the driver software, you must have

administrative privileges.
When you install the 2914 series network adapter on your

computer and start the system, the system detects a new adapter
and may install a default driver. Or, the native Broadcom driver
may be installed if your system has an onboard Broadcom network
interface. In either case, you must update the driver software for
the 2914 series network adapter. See "Installing the Driver Using
Device Manager", or "Installing the Driver Using the Silent
Installation Method".
