Ethernet connection not being picked up when disconnecting from wifi

I have a hp laptop and im running wifi to connect to internet.

I thought i would try connecting the laptop to an ethernet cable at same time.

But i never see the icon change from wifi to ethernet.

I have updated the drivers but i need to update the ones that are showing as yellow exclamation mark.

The ethernet cable is in excellent condition by the way.

Can someone help me find the right driver pls?

Until then ill keep looking

Hi torchwood

Thanks for the reply

I forgot to show the 2 yellow signs i get.. ethernet controller and pci device.

But here are the details in the picture below.

TechSeven - When you updated the Ethernet driver, did you install the chipset driver as well?

Don't you have a wifi button? disable wifi, or to open wifi devices and disconnect the computer from wifi.

there is a wifi button, if i disable that, ethernet still does not work.

in the device manager, the ethernet controller comes up as yellow sign and pci device.
