Would you happen to have a link to the latest Windows driver?

  
Surely: http://tinyurl.com/2zxchn.

The above link will take you to the main download page for the Intel 2915ABG. The latest  (as of this writing) driver only package is 9.0.4.26, dated 11/30/2006 (the driver itself  - not the package - is dated 10/25/2006). You'll need to unpack the driver and replace (backup first, naturally) W29N51.INF and W29N51.SYS in the WRAPPER_8086_4224 (or 4223, depending upon your chipset) subdirectory under genmac\driver and reboot.
