I have similar problem related to the issue, "The Realtek Network Controller was not found. IF Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable" after I was trying to 'repair, modify, uninstall & reinstall' realtek8111B network adapter driver but still my computer can't connect to the Internet. I already tried the driver directly downloaded from realtek.com.tw and also gigabyte.com.tw (I'm using S-series m/b from Gigabyte: GA-P31-DS3L), but the result still the same ("The Realtek Network Controller was not found. IF Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable"). I was also looking for the term "Deep Sleep Mode" from Windows "Help & Support", and I didn't found anything about the term. What da heaven "Deep Sleep Mode" is? Maybe only God know... but I'm just more ordinary than the ordinary human :)
When I was opened the Device Manager, I even didn't found the words of "Network Adapters", except when the "Show hidden devices" was marked. And when I click twice on it (on the hidden "Network Adapters"); it only displays WAN Miniport (IP), WAN Miniport (IPv6), WAN Miniport (L2TP), WAN Miniport (PPPoE), WAN Miniport (PPTP), RAS Async Adapter. What da heaven "WAN Miniport(s)" and "RAS Async Adapter" are? Maybe only God know... and I'm still just more ordinary than the ordinary human :))
I thought maybe somebody (= "ordinary brothers"), had changed the BIOS setting and 'sub-conciously' disabled the "Onboard LAN Boot ROM". Then I check the BIOS and I even didn't found "Onboard LAN Boot ROM" on my BIOS. So, I upgrade my BIOS with the latest release via gigabyte.com.tw .... the new BIOS work fine.... but I still didn't found where "Onboard LAN Boot ROM" is. It's should be located between "SMART LAN [Press Enter]" and "Onboard Serial Port 1 [3F8/IRQ4]" on the BIOS "Integrated Peripherals" display.
This problem get me frustated, because I have to get more intimate with my computer for one entire day, and it even didn't my type.... we never know each other before we are in the same roof.
I plan to install a new LAN card on motherboard, but how can I disabled the Onboard LAN while it's not appears on my BIOS setting? Should I buy and just install it? Will it works? Coz I'm not sure....
Thanks in advance.
