A couple of days ago I turned on my M14x and it did not connect to the internet (via cable), but the Wi-Fi still works. I checked the Device Manager and this is what I got:
Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Device type: Unknown
Manufacturer: Atheros
Location: PCI bus 7, device 0, function 0
Device status
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
and on the Driver tab
Driver Provider: Atheros
Driver Date: 27/9/2010
Driver Version: 1.0.0.36
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling it multiple times but that didn't work. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this
Ethernet Controller problem [URGENT HELP PLEASE]
