I installed Vista into a VPC (MS VPC 2004) but the network card will not
work. I installed the add-on pack and still does not work. It shows up as
a
"Intel 21140-Based PCI Fast Enternet Adapter (Emulated)". I am running a
Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Card.


I have an Intel PRO on my motherboard and am using the XP driver for it on
my Vista
machine. It works just fine.

Tom, there are *several* different flavors of Intel Fast and gigabit
Ethernet NICs. Most of the copper gigabit series (PRO/1000MT/GT/CT) are not
just supported by Vista (and have been since the 52xx builds), but have
drivers included with Vista itself. However, there are *exceptions* (mostly
toward the newer end of the NIC scale)
