E1405 no Ethernet Controller Driver
I have E1405 that crashed and I brought back to life. Everything works minus the Ethernet controller. It can not find the driver. I have installed every driver on dells web page and even looked for a generic but that did not work. I have a static IP at work that I need to tie into to monitor a set of VOIP phones. So I am will to take an advice.
ryan.eger,
You installed the Dell Notebook System Software and the Intel Mobile Chipset alsong with the Ricoh R5C832 drivers? These need installed first.
Then install the Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller and the Intel® Driver Update Utility for Intel® wireless adapters and Dell QuickSet.
Then see what you have. Remember to connect the ethernet cable, connect it with the computer shut down, for the first time, then startup the computer with the ethernet cable connected.
What do you see in the device manager, under network?

ryan.eger,
First, did you install the drivers in order? How to Install Drivers in Microsoft® Windows® on Dell Systems
Is this the origional ethernet adapter or was it purchased and installed from somewhere else?
Make and model of your computer and operating system is helpful.
