    Hi, im on my way for frree upgr to 8.1 and around the fresh installation of win8 before upgr to 8.1 i stumbled upon this and it has always been confusing for me which drivers to install for the WIFI/LAN to have internet...to proceed with my upgrades

    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/gt70-0nd.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8 64

    I remember when I am on wifi that with fresh installation I already have some integrated drivers auto installed with the windows setup and I have a connection from start. But now im on Ethernet/Broadband and while I see 'wifi network connections are available' I do not see anything for ethernet

    I know I have to setup the MAC but when I plugin the cable ethernet connection is non-existent. Otherwise like when I have all installed I see ethernet and driver where to setup the MAC address but now no such connection is recognized. Is there some specific drives I have to install for these things to appear?

    Also from this list of drivers which ones do I need and which ones not?

    Intel N2230 Bluetooth 4.0
    Beta Killer BigFoot LAN
    Killer (Bigfoot) LAN
    Intel N2230 Wireless LAN
    Qualcomm WLAN Killer N1202+ Bluetooth

    Im like what the f what is what.. I see 2x bluetooths and wireless.. and right now i need the LAN connection
