Dimension E521 Network Controller

Question

I turned off and unplugged my computer the other day with everything working just fine.  When I plugged it back in and turned it on I no longer get any internet access.  I went to the device manager and there is a yellow exclamation mark next to network controller.  I downloaded the latest driver (R149798) with another computer and installed it.  Now I have Broadcom 440X10/100 Integrated Controller listed in the device manager and the yellow exclamation next to Network Controller.  It did not help with internet access.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try booting into Safe Mode, going into Device Manager, and uninstalling the network adapter. Then reboot to Normal Mode, cancel the New Hardware Wizard, if it starts, and re-run the driver installation file. Let us know if this fixes the problem.

I booted in safe mode an uninstalled the network adabter, rebooted, and did not need to reinstall anything for the internet to start working.  Thanks for your help.
