I am having troubles with finding driver for my Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

If the appropriate driver is available from Apple, your Mac will install it automatically. This list is no longer updated. Many vendors of printers and scanners have adopted driverless technologies such as AirPrint, and they are no longer providing drivers. This update provides improved connection stability. This updater is recommended for all Xserve systems and PowerMac systems with the Apple PCI or PCI-X Ethernet.

  • Answer Apple's USB Ethernet Adapter is for connecting your Mac Laptop to your router via an ethernet cable (internet access). If you have images on a memory stick and you have a USB Memory Stick Adapter you can purchase the Lighting to USB Camera Adapter to allow the Photo App to import the images.
  • Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 If you're using a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 cable with a Thunderbolt display or other device, use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter. This is the correct solution for the Apple Thunderbolt Display.
  • Connect your Mac the way you want. Get Ethernet adapters and USB ports for seamless connection. Buy online with fast, free shipping.

I checked the version and I have a BCM5701 chip. These Broadcom drivers don't support my adapter.

This is for Windows 7, but should work for Windows 10

A quick search on the Apple Support site, I was able to find instructions on downloading the correct driver. I have condensed them here for quick reference:

  1. Download the Netxtreme Mobile/Desktop Driver. It will say that it's not supported, but the .inf file does include the requisite driver entries

In addition to removing the main screw, there are two more screws under the battery very short, with a rather wide top. Steps worked for my vgn-nr series. Xbox one controller driver for mac.

  2. Unzip the drivers to a temporary folder on your hard drive (preferably your Desktop so it's easy to find)

  3. Connect the adaptor to the thunderbolt port
  4. Reboot Windows

Windows should automatically detect the adaptor now and install it. You may need to point the installer at the location where you unzipped the drivers.

If that doesn't work, you will need to do this through Device Manager

  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware & Sound and open Device Manager
  2. Click the name of your computer at the top of the device tree
  3. Click Action at the top of the window and choose Add Legacy Hardware
  4. Click Next
  5. Select 'Install hardware that I manually select..'
  6. Choose Network Adaptors
  7. Choose 'Have Disk'
  8. Browse to the location of the drivers you unzipped earlier.
  9. Click the .inf file
  10. Select Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet from the list of drivers available
  11. OK and install

You may need to reboot again with the adaptor plugged into the Thunderbolt port to finish the job

Note: Again, these instructions and driver downloads are for Windows 7. Thought they should work with Windows 10, it is not guaranteed.

If having both OS X and Windows 10 support is important, consider getting a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. I have personnaly used this exact adapter on an iMac, a MacBook Pro, a Mac Mini (Dual Boot w/ Win 7) and a Surface Pro 3. Msi drivers download.
