Hello,

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.6.3

By chance, while looking for how to access the detailed config of my PC, I see something that catches my attention ^^

In device manager, network adapters I have

- 1394 network adapter (Connected)
- RangeMax (tm) Next Wireless Adapter WN311B (connected)
- Atheros AR8121/ AR8113/ AR8114 / PCI-E Ethernet Controller (Disconnected with a red cross on it)

Atheros? Is that my Ethernet card? Why is it disconnected? Is it important?

Thank you for your responses.

Hi,
It's your Ethernet card.
Check that the correct drivers are installed
