Ok, I just got a new mac pro (standard 2.8, 8 core). Bootcamp is working with windows xp. Most of the hardware is recognized, except the ethernet card.
So I can't get on the internet because xp's not seeing my dsl modem.

Is there a generic ethernet card profile in xp that will work with the standard mac pro ethernet card? I tried a generic intel one but it didn't work.... anyone know which to choose, or where I can download it?

Also is there an easy way to open the cd drive while in xp? The keyboard eject drive button doesn't work.

thanks!

ah never mind, I figured it out after looking around. Drivers are on the disc that came with the mac pro. ATI driver had to be updated from what apple gave me though.
