Ethernet Controller Driver. Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, I have been looking for 4 days for a driver for an obsolete "Realtek RTL-81xx Ethernet Controller Drivers".  I have an HP 635 notebook PC with Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.  And as network card drivers, I have the "Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller" and "Qualcomm Atheros AR285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter".  P.S: I checked the official HP website as well as the TousLesDrivers.com website but there is nothing.

Hello, I had already done an analysis with Driver Genius, that’s how I was able to find the outdated driver in question.  For the second response, I had already installed both drivers.

flonigo · Answer

Sorry for the double post, I just reinstalled both drivers but there's no change.

flonigo · Answer

Nothing to change! The problem still persists :/ And on top of that, I have another outdated driver called "Qualcomm Atheros AR5xx/AR9xx Wireless LAN drivers" So I updated it, and in conclusion, this driver is no longer outdated. Therefore, I think the driver you gave me, kaneagle, is an earlier version than mine.

kaneagle · Answer

Don't you have any question marks in the device manager?  -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst

flonigo · Answer

No, there is no question mark.

kaneagle · Answer

If everything is fine with the networks and connections, why do you want to update them?  -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

flonigo · Answer

Well, I followed your advice, and besides, I don’t have any network on the computer; I don’t understand why.

kaneagle · Answer

Go to Device Manager Give the list in network adapters.  -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst

Bluetooth Peripheral (Personal Network) Bluetooth Peripheral (TDI RFCOMM Protocol) Qualcomm Atheros AR285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

kaneagle · Answer

The 2 network cards are present and you cannot access the web, whether with Ethernet or wireless?  -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

flonigo · Answer

Yes exactly.

kaneagle · Answer

You cannot access the web, the network cards are present in the device manager and without alerts, so it is a network problem and not a driver issue.

Good luck.

flonigo · Answer

Ok, but how is that possible? Because right now I'm using my netbook with the same network connection as on the other computer.

kaneagle · Answer

Go to the control panel
Programs and Features
Uninstall Qualcomm Atheros and Realtek Family Controller, if present.

Go to Device Manager
Network adapters
Right-click on Qualcomm Atheros
Uninstall it
Do the same with Realtek Family Controller

Restart the PC
Install the 2 drivers from the --> message 2

flonigo · Answer

Sure, but there are several:
"Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth Suite"
"Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver"
"Windows Driver Package - Qualcomm Atheros Communication" (This one is there twice)
"Atheros Driver Installation Program"
"Qualcomm Atheros Client Installation Program"

So which ones exactly should I uninstall?

kaneagle · Answer

Start only with Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver

Then, go to Device Manager
Network adapters
Right-click on Realtek Family Controller
Uninstall it

Restart and install this driver --> Ethernet

There's no change.

If the driver is properly installed and there are no alerts in the device manager, then it's a network problem. Open a new topic in the forum --> Network
