  • Network controller As network controller driver is missing I can't connect to the internet to download drivers directly from internet, though I do have access to the internet via another pc. Can somebody please help me get my laptop back on the internet? My computer details generated by EVEREST Home Edition is as follows.
  • Use the CD that came with your motherboard, the Ethernet drivers will be on there. If you don't have that disc any more, you can download the drivers from Intel's website on a computer with a working connection and transfer them to the computer on a USB drive.
  • The only thing we could do is do a Windows 10 refresh. It removed the software on the computer but saved the data and the network adapters became available and working. We tried reinstalling drivers, uninstalling all antivirus/antimalware and still no luck.
  • I reinstalled windows on a new machine and the drivers are not present for the product network card. When in device manager all I get is the question mark and I am unable to figure out the actual name of the vendor or model of the card. This is making my search to find the correct driver hard.
  • If you want to update your network card’s drivers and don’t want to let Windows Update do it then finding out your Network Card model and brand is very important. Since installing wrong drivers can lead to some serious system issues or even make Windows unbootable in the worst case.

Dell Network Controller Driver Windows 7


I decided to take the plunge and install win 10 on one of my machines. Used windows update to install build 10074 from windows 7.
Everything seems to have worked fine except my network adapter (onboard Realtek thing) isn't being detected.
Figured this might be a driver thing so I installed various versions of the realtek drivers both win 7 and win 8 ones and these seem to install fine but then cannot detect the card. The installer gives an error that the card may be in 'Deep Sleep mode'.
Once installed the Device 'REaltek PCIe GBE Family Controller' appears in device manager with no issues or conflicts, but nothing is in the Network Connections window when I go through Network and Sharing centre.
I have tried booting to the trouble shooting menu and selecting load unsigned drivers but this has not worked.
I rolled back to Win 7 and the card came back and all connectivity was restored. Re-installed win10 and back to the same issue.
Any thought/ideas?
Cheers
