Hi, I bought an Ethernet network card that isn’t detected in Device Manager, but under Ubuntu the internet connection works automatically! I’d like some help! Thanks ;) P.S. Windows 7, Maximus III formula, TG-3269 network card. Thanks again!

    Hello
    Did you install the driver for this network card for Windows?
    Without the driver you won’t have Ethernet Internet access.

    Who loves instruction! find the knowledge that comes from reflection!
    PS. Create restore points often! that solves quite a few problems.

      No, because the drivers are in file form and not .exe, so the installation guide tells us to locate the card via the Device Manager, but it doesn’t appear there!

    What is the reference of your Ethernet network card.
    Check this with AIDA64 for detecting your network card.

    Can you give me the network card references (copy-paste)
    It's probably a driver issue.
    And if you install an external card one of the two will be disabled.

    But normally a PC has an integrated network card.
    In the Network and Sharing Center you should have this card (connected or disconnected)

    I think your Windows has a problem and it may be that Ubuntu in dual-boot is causing the issue.
    You should reinstall Windows
