The PCI Ids in the .INF file for MARVEL drivers DOES NOT MATCH the one the MARVELL 88E8001 chip returns, this prevent the driver to install.
To get the network on download the last driver for XP/2003 from the Marvell web site, unzip the file and update the .INF file with the correct PCI id
The one in the original .INF file is VEN_11AB&DEV_
replace all the occurences of VEN_11AB with VEN_1148 (the ID the 88E8001 returns) using the notepad.
Then use the manual installation process and wonder all is right now.
I do not understand why this PCI id is wrong maybe MARVELL change its vendor ID due to some conflicts or legal issue.
Hope this could help anybody.

Stock Lady said:Thanks so much to Grimmy and ELW! I was running my Appian Rushmore quad video card fine on my networked Dell Dimension 4600. But when I installed everything on my new Dell Precision 470, the onboard NIC did not show up in device manager. Your instructions for downgrading the pci.sys file to the 5.1.2600.1106 version were super. I now have everything working. However, whenever I restart or shut down, I have to re-enter the file again. I did copy the file into c:\windows\system32\drivers while in Safe Mode as you suggested. Any ideas? Should we revert back to SP1 entirely instead of just this one file? Thanks a bunch again--I'd been working on this problem for two weeks. Please let us know if you find a permanent solution.
