[McArra]

Do I have to install it? I found it here . I'm confused.

Looks like a update as XP with SP1 has the 1.1.0.0 ands this is the 1.1.0.1

But when I tried to update my system it said no better driver found, so I am still running 1.1.0.0

Updated it and v1.1.0.0 is what hardware manager displays, but with another date in the driver.

Yea that is the old driver, look at the date. I am not sure why WinXP will not take the 1.1.0.1 No biggie I guess?
