No driver for Ethernet Controller
Device manager says I have no driver for my ethernet controller. Running Vista 64bit on a Studio 17. Any idea where I can get the driver? Automatically retrieving it through device manager > ethernet controller > update driver software... > search automatically is coming up with squat. Thanks!
TheNad,
These issues usually happen during a clean installation.
The Desktop/Notebook Utility needs to be installed first, then the chipset drivers. If they are NOT installed first, then the rest of the drivers will fail to install.
Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
:emotion-55: Hint :emotion-55: When downloading the drivers, make a folder for each drivers and name it with the device it belongs with to make it easier to install them in the proper order.

TheNad,
Did you re-install the operating system or upgrade it by chance?
