Here's the driver:
http://dipson.110mb.com/files/XP/AS3.7z
Its infact DP_LAN_wnt5_x86-32_8053\D\L\AS3 from the LAN DriverPacks.
There's a file ax88140.inf accompanied by ax88140.sys
ax88140.inf has no SourceDisksFiles Section
But it has


So, does the file ax88140.sys need to be there?

ax88140.sys is the actual device driver, so yes, it needs to be there.

Poorly create INF, but yes that file would have to be there.

Thanks for the info.
DrvComp didnot copy the sys file, so i was confused and i also even read that SourceDiskFiles section would only count.

I don't trust any those driver backup/restore tools. They all miss files for certain hardware.

Unless the hardware you have to work with is very old or obscure, finding drivers is rarely a problem. It's a good idea to keep your own collection of drivers, not only for your own hardware, but also for all the computers you work on. You never know when a n00b friend is going to need your help.
