ethernet card doesn't work on startup - Ultimate 64bit
Hi all - I have Win7 Ultimate 64bit and my ethernet pci card DLink DFE-530TX+ (rev F) doesn't recognize the broadband connection on bootup. I have to disable it in the device manager and then re-enable it. Then the broadband connection works.
I have the latest driver, from the DLink site, which is specifically for Win7: 1.12.0.1 (10/12/2009)
I put in the ethernet card as a workaround, because the onboard ethernet device had exactly the same problem. It is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I got the latest driver from Realtek (7.26.902.2010 - dateed 9/2/2010) but like the DLink, when I first boot up, it does not recogize the broadband internet connection.
I had hoped the PCI card would not experience the same problem -but it does.
Thoughts?
