Ethernet disabled after updates installed
I have recently installed Windows 7 on 2 computers. The first installed without a hitch and everything is working fine. I proceeded next to install it on my computer. The parts are slightly older but should not make a difference.
Anyways, 3 times now, after fresh installs, the updates don't always take and then when the computer restarts, The Ethernet device is not detected. I am going to attempt to find Windows 7 Drivers for my Ethernet device on the motherboard from the ASUS website and install it manually, but any other advice would be greatly appreciated, (such as MS' updates being corrupted and disabling the device? Or the OS simply installs the wrong drivers for the Ethernet device?
