If it’s a T61, the odds are good it's an Intel Gig NIC. So you should just be able to grab one off the Intel site.

I don't have any issues with the video, which is detected by XP - it's identified as Intel GM965. I can cruise the Intel site, but you'd think that if the vendor of the laptop is mentioning these drivers, I could get them from the web site. But no, they all say no download available. Sheesh.
