Solved ethernet please

How about some more details of your system? It appears to be a laptop with an Atheros AR5B93 WiFi adapter.
Did it ever work? If it previously worked but stopped suddenly, what events happened just prior?
Have you tried updating the driver?

Of course, sorry 'bout that. Regardless, the same questions apply. Did it ever work or is this the first time you ever tried it?
You may need to download the chipset driver from here: Gateway Support - Downloads & Support Documents - Notebook / NV Series / NV79

garara, you already started another thread about the same problem. Going off into a new one halfway through the process leads to confusion and we can't help you as effectively with your driver issue. Please consider sticking with the original thread.

Seeing as Gateway doesn't even list an ethernet driver for it (3 different wireless drivers though), I would give their hardware detection utility at try (listed at the top of the download page) and see if it will find the ethernet driver.

Open Device Manager, open the properties for the ethernet controller again and click on the Details tab. From the dropdown list select Hardware IDs and post back what it shows.

Your computer does not have the ethernet adapter driver installed. Look for the driver on Gataway site given above by Strollin. The other missing driver (PCI Simple Communication Driver) is the telephone modem driver. As per Strollin's suggestion, install the chipset driver and the modem driver. If your LAN card driver is not installed, you have to find the driver and install it.
