Multi- file download link ??

Any body point me to the page wherte you can tick the drivers and download all the files at the same time ? I remember seeing this page once - but cant seem to find it. I realise that I could use the auto-software installer - but this is not really ideal. Many thanks BTW: Whats a sophomore member ?

Multi- file download link ??

I remember seeing a mult-file download page for the thinkpad drivers on the IBM website where you could just tick the files you wanted and it would download them all together. Any body able to point me in the right direction ?

I dont want to use the auto software install application.

Many thanks

Intel Pro/1000 MT mobile

Windows update gives the option of the latest driver for the Intel network software update - released on June 29 2005.

I always use the IBM drivers - but my current driver is so old that I wonder if this will give any benefits?
