The picture above is Toshiba Satellite A215-S5822, originally having Windows Vista installed. As we all know, majority of the people prefers Windows XP over Windows Vista. The problem is the WinXP driver availability of Toshiba Satellite laptops. I downgraded one into Windows XP just a while ago and I faced the problem about the driver issues.
I easily installed majority of the components except for the wireless network device or wifi and the built-in webcam. So I'm uploading these drivers for those people who have a hard time finding those mentioned drivers.
Here are the other components of Toshiba Satellite A215-S5822 in case you have trouble finding the right drivers for you device:
Display | VGA card: ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 Series
IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers: Ricoh Memory Stick Controller, Ricoh SD Bus Host Adapter, Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller, Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller
Mice and other pointing devices: Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
Modem: Toshiba Software Modem
Network Adapter | LAN: Atheros AR5008X Wireless Network Adapter, Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E FE NIC
Sound: Realtek High Definition Audio
Thank you for this post. I was going nuts trying to find the wireless driver for my wife's Satellite, after switching it to XP. After an hour of searching, I came across your blog, and sure enough, it worked!
