FYI, Apple Boot Camp WinXP installation, running the above tool shows Audio, Ethernet, WiFi, and something else (labeled "Unknown" are unsuported), though you can download a driver from www.marvell.com for the Gigabit Ethernet connection.

Not sure how much, if any, the Apple Boot Camp drivers are altering the tools ability to identify the system components...
