I'm going to uni in 3 weeks time and I'm utterly bewildered by a certain (and i sense important) part of the internet information pack they sent me. YOU NEED: ... 2. 10MB Ethernet compliant network card *Most recent desktop and laptop computers are supplied with a Network LAN adapter installed as illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. (I can't show you fig.1 or fig.2 because it's a pdf and I don't know how to get pictures off of it.) Now, I was told in the FAQ to look in my Device Manager for a Network Adapter. Which I have. But is that the same thing as a network card? I'm confused. :( Please help. p.s. Sorry about the title. They wouldn't let me post it unless I made it unique! Made it mine!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/Dissilusioned/networkscreenshot.jpg?t=1220052233 It's a little difficult to make out due to the retardness of photobucket, but that little red splodge is clearly an x. How do I find out whether it's a lack of driver or it's deactivated? 
That means there is no driver installed.
Oh, I just right clicked on it and the first option was "update driver...". That's what I click, yeah?
Correct. Hopefully Windows Update will be able to find a driver for it; it should be able to, broadcom is a common adapter manufacturer. Otherwise like I said, you'll have to download the drivers manually from their website.
