Determining Which File to Download
The descriptive index, above, is intended to aid your selection of which driver to download. If you are unable to determine which file to download for your particular application, feel free to contact SMSC's Technical Support by phone or email.

Please note that the Webmaster is unable to provide guidance in this area; please contact technical support directly.

Locating a Specific File
You may use the search entry box in the upper right corner of this page to locate a particular filename. For the search engine to locate a filename, however, the entire filename including the period and 3 character extension must be entered. For example type: 68x.zip not 68x.

If you are in the descriptive index, you might also use the find command within your browser. But that limits you to only the files described on that Web page.

Problems with Downloading
Even with SMSC's high-bandwidth Internet connection and servers, the dynamic nature of the Internet sometimes prevents files from being successfully downloaded. SMSC provides alternate means of downloading the files.

If you are not able to download the files by clicking in the above descriptive index (using http), you might want to try SMSC's Anonymous FTP Server (ftp.smsc.com) at 631-233-4272 using a standalone FTP client.

If you have an alternate Internet Service Provider (ISP), try to download the file using a different provider. Even major ISPs sometimes have problems with packet loss when network demand increases.
