I'm using windows update, and it notified me that i can update my drivers for my via onboard ethernet controller.

Since I like having the actual install file, i went to www.viaarena.com to look for the latest drivers, but the latest are back to 2001. The windows update drivers are dated March 2008.

What gives? Is windows update the ONLY way get the latest VIA ethernet drivers now?

More than anything else

Get them from your motherboard maker for your particular mobo along with any other updates for your mobo.

Yea the motherboard is quite old, so its listed as an end of life product. The drivers from the motherboard site are just as old as the ones at via arena...
