Need A Realtek (RTL8201CL) Driver Help Please

Hi,

I have been searching and trying various drivers for hours and still cannot find the right one for my Intergrated Ethernet, can you please help? I need a FREE Driver download... I have a Compaq Presario Desktop PC with AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+ I saw on a tiny chip on the Mother Board it said RTL8201CL which i have also searched the internet for and still cannot find, Realtek don't allow you to download from them which I'm sure they used to. 😡 So please could you help me? 🙂

Thanks.
Matt.
