Please note that you made a typo for the name of the company associated
with the driver update.

Windows Update erroneously believes that my laptop requires a network driver
update for Infeon ADMtek AN983 10/100Mbps PCI Ethernet Adapter.
</quote>

And for all I know the OP may have made a typo too.
E.g. few hits for Infeon but lots of hits for Infineon which appears
to be the name of an OEM.

http://www.infineon.com/cgi-bin/ifx/...geTypeId=17099

No it's the other way around. ADMtek is an OEM which was bought by Infineon.

Try backing off the driver update?
This is probably the KB article that Jeff was referring to
and probably explains why he couldn't use it (not for his OS).
