Ethernet card Driver missing

When I switch to windows I cant get the port to work. After further investigation I found that the driver is missing, I looked for it in the manufacturers webpage but I couldn’t find it. I have wireless and it works fine on both operating systems. any suggestions?

Ethernet card driver rollback

Hi all. This is both a solution and a request. There seems to be a common problem with wireless WPA not functioning after SP3 is installed. I went through this some time ago, and learned that this problem can be solved by rolling back the Ethernet card driver back to their previous version - release 7.
My problem is, after rebuilding my T40, I can't find anywhere to download an older version of the Intel PRO/100/1000 LAN adapter - all I can find is the latest. Does anyone know where to get hold of older versions?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum! This one might work, give it a shot: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54046 After downloading it, you must go into C>Drivers>Win>Ethernet and run the setup file from there. Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers,

I need a PCI ethernet card driver for my Performa 6360...

Roughly a week ago, I decided to add yet another one of my classic Macs to my LAN, a classic gaming LAN of sorts, with that mac being a Performa 6360. With it's single empty (at the time) PCI slot, the solution for an ethernet card for the system was basically screaming at me. Unfortunately, I went to my local electronics store with the assumption that PCI ethernet cards are fairly generic devices that should work in nearly everything without a problem. That turned out not to be the case. Once I finally aquired the time to install it, the card itself appeared to work, with the outer LEDs indicating network activity and a 100mbps network speed, however, when I went into the Appletalk or TCP/IP control panels, I came to the terrible realization that I needed a driver. The included CD was, much to my dismay, Windows only, Google searches haven't been much help, and worst of all, I seem to have misplaced my reciept. The "card" I keep mentioning is a Linksys LNE100TX version 5.1. Here is what is shown in the apple system profiler:
==============================
PCI Slot
Card type: ethernet
Card name: pci1317,574
Card model: -1
Card Rom #: Not available
Card Revision: 17
Card Vendor ID: 1317
==============================
What I am wondering is where I could find a driver for this card, and if that answer is "nowhere", is there any way I could get this card functioning under Mac OS 8.1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well the good news is there was one,

finding one, is a good question. Oddly enough the link you posted to the 10T version is the same company as above.
Yes, I have tried searching a number of places for it, and haven't come up with much. Here is what a google shopping search pulled up (eBay came up empty), the first being "unavailable" for purchase once you add it to your shopping cart and the second costing only $150! I could easily buy a new (used) mac with the card installed in it for that much!
As for the PCI slot cards you are trying, keep in mind that you are trying to use current cards which didn't exist back in the day your Mac and OS were made...... I have Asante 10/100 PCI cards in some of that generation mac and they work fine but then they were supported by the OS.
Good point. Even back when I purchased it, the card seemed a bit of a long-shot to me, too. However, being on sale for $15, I thought, "why not at least try?". Unfortunately, I came up with the results above. However, you have given me a good idea. I realize from reading a few posts around here on the issue that it is a good idea to keep the pci slot of the computer open on this computer until there is a need to upgrade, let's say, for a graphics card. However, what if I have no future plans to add anything (as is currently)? Is it really that necessary that I keep the slot open? I'm sure it would be exponentially easier to find a card for that.
A long shot might be to try loading OS 9.0.4 and see if you get lucky as 8 is pretty old plus there's a part of me that wonders with such a slow bus and cpu that 100T is going to make a big difference.
Kevin
Thank you for the suggestion, but that's how I collected the information for the card in the first place. The Performa 6360 didn't seem to take the card, so I popped it in to my Beige G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 and hoped it might work on that. Same problem, however, the Apple System Profiler is much more thorough on that OS, so I was able to acquire the card's information. The reason for the 100-BaseT Ethernet, again, is not solely based on that one computer; It's the fact that I would prefer the network to run at the faster speed and with four macs currently on it, with a few more modern ones such as the iBook G3 shown below, the speed is a nice thing to have.
So, on that note, any suggestions for a PCI equivalent? Has Apple ever made any? If so, where could I find them at a reasonable (Read: Not $150) price?
Thanks again.

ThinkPad 390, Ethernet card driver

I have reinstall Windows 98 on ThinkPad 390. I install (almost) all drivers from this location (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/DSHY-45XN9C.html), but I have problem with two drivers (in device manager) one is PCI Ethernet Controller (I think it is from network card) other in PCI Serial Controller (don't know what is it)?
Where can I get this two drivers (especially for network card)?
Tnx

Welcome to the forum!
What's the 7-character model number of your ThinkPad?

ThinkPad T510 Ethernet Card Driver on Debian Lenny

Hello,
I just bought my first Lenovo laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad T510, and received it just yesterday. I partitioned the HDD and installed Debian Lenny on it. During the installation, Debian was unable to detect a network connection and throws up saying that it can't find a network connection and that if I knew the driver for it, I can select it from a long list. I was using direct Ethernet connection.
So from the list, I tried about 15 of them (just the ones I thought are possible candidates) and no success. I managed to install Debian without configuring that. I can boot into Debian, but I can't connect to the Internet via Ethernet so I can't get the wifi driver or anything. This is so weird. This is the only computer that Debian has ever complained about Ethernet drivers in my experience.
Any help, advice, suggestion is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance. =)

Hello,
Thanks for the response. I don't like Ubuntu or prefer it over Debian. I managed to solve this however (despite my lack of update here). I'll list the steps for Debian Lenny ( base install) for those who still wish to stick to it.
1. Download e1000e driver from Intel's website. Unpack and install. Once set up, Ethernet will be working.
2. Download the package iwlagn, which requires a kernel upgrade. Wifi should work after a restart and boot into the new kernel.
The only problem with the new kernel is the brightness/dim controls are no longer working. The following can be set up via alias for easier controls, but they seem to require root. It's not the best way, but I hadn't messed with it much because Squeeze was going to be released soon at the time.
echo 4 > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
echo 5 > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
I'm currently not on my laptop but I believe 4 is dim and 5 is bright. Or vice-versa. Easy enough to test it yourself.
But that's about it. Everything else ran fine. Since Squeeze is finally released, I will be trying it real soon. =)
Thanks for your efforts!

LAN connection not working/Ethernet controller driver missing

I got a new hard drive and installed a clean copy of windows 7 on it. After dealing with a few problems I finally had it up and running. I transferred via usb and installed drivers from http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/7779690/model/8154137#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1. Every thing is working except for my LAN connection. I can connect to wifi however. In device manager I have a ! next to ethernet controller. Had ! on a bunch more before installing other drivers. In network adapter settings there is no listed Local Area Connection. What do I need to get my Lan connection working again?

Hi: The support page for your model indicates you need this ethernet driver... This package provides the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver for supported models running a supported operating system. File name: sp71102.exe You have to manually install this driver. Run the file and then go to the device manager. Click on the ethernet controller needing drivers. Click on the driver tab. Click on Update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file. That folder should be located in C:\SWSetup\sp71102. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.

PC Card driver missing

1.After reboot, message says PCMCIA driver software not installed.
2. In MAX-configuration - right click on Devices and Interface selected DAQCARD-AI-16E-4, But how do I assign Device #, PCCARD socket, input/output range, interrupt request
I have no direction to install and get the system ready for datalogging.
I am very disappointed. I have a NT OS. First I started with USB system, later found something doesn't work with USB, then switched to PCMCIA, Now I have the socket driver problem.
SR # ; 406100

Hello;
One thing you need to double check is if the sockets of your Laptop are using the native Microsoft drivers or third party driver.
If the thirdy party driver is being used, the best way is to uninstall that and install the native MS driver from the windows CD.
After that done, uninstall NI-DAQ, download the latest version (6.9.2) from NI web site, and install that.
Also, the following link has some good information about DAQ board installation and troubleshooting tips.

HP15-r074tu - Graphics Card Driver Needed

Hi,
HI have HP 15-r074tu - with DOS..
I have installed Win 7 Home premium - 64 Bit.
Please note that this is the first time I am tring to install the drivers as the Laptop was bought - 25th OCT 2014 with Dos.
I have Few issues
1. I have Tried installing the following
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
sp66556.exe
Version - 10.18.10.3408
But it says that " it does not meet minimum requirments" and the driver does not install..! - I do not have any special graphic card on this its just the plain intel Graphics
Can you please share the correct Graphics card Driver..
2. In my keyboard - none of the special functions work - even after pressing Fn (or) without pressing
Basic mode of the keyboard is ok.. (Unable to reduce the brightness, unable to mute or increase or reduce volume..)
- Do I need install any keyboard drivers - Currently it says "ps2 keyboard" in driver manager..
- Do I need to install the touch pad software to solve this?
- or is this because of Graphics card driver missing..?
3. lastly wireless, blue tooth and PCI drivers - not to be found in the HP Site..
So I tried a old software for blue tooth... but the Wireless radio button is off/Amber and unable to turn back on due to above mentioned keyboard issue..
i believe the keyboard issue is due to driver is not installed..
Please help..

Hi:
Install the Intel chipset driver first and reboot if you have not done so already.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20775&lang=eng
The product specs for your model indicates it has the Intel HD 4400 graphics.
See if the driver directly from Intel works...

Ethernet driver missing on s5-100z Pavilion Slimline with Win7 Ultimate

Hi all, I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 on my daughters computer and all works fine except that when I try to connect to the router is says the Ethernet driver is missing. When I check the Device Manager it shoes the Ethernet Controller driver is missing. I have tried everyway I know to find the driver, but, so far nothing.I have worked with many computers over the years and have been a Tech Beta Tester with MS for over 15 years and I have never ever encountered this kind of issue before. I have the same Windows OS installed on my HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1205z and did not have the problem. I have changed out the ethernet cables 4 times thinking it might be the cable, but, so far nothing resolves the issue. I am in hopes that someone here can help me find the driver for the s5-1000z so that we can get my daughter's computer connected to the router. Any suggestion or assistance will be very greatly appreciated. She needs the computer up and working with the Internet before schools starts so she can do her online courses. Thank you. :-)

Hi: The motherboard specs for that model indicates that it has the onboard Realtek Technology: RTL8105E-VC ethernet chip. The second driver on the list at the link below should work. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Driver wanted for SE/30 Ethernet Card (Cnet CN470E)

I have a beautiful SE/30 which has a CNet Technology CN470E network card in it. I think the reason i can not get it networked is that it needs a driver for its Ethernet card, and i could not find it on the net. It would be so great if someone could share it with me! Thanks!

Hello, thanks for caring! The case seems to be this: this card, as well as many other ethernet cards are supported by the Mac OS from 7.5 and above (drivers are embedded upon factory install even for 3rd party cards), and the previous versions could have these genuine Apple "drivers". However, when you acquire the original installs, the custom drivers may be more efficient, eg using larger cache buffers that leads to faster operation and so forth.
It might be not obvious for those who not use classic OS on a daily basis that:
1) IP addresses don't get shown instantly like they do in OS-X. It will get the DHCP configuration when starting a browser
2) I personally could not get Appletalk sharing files, which was another bag of hurt, as sending files over FTP is not straightforward (you have to stuff them, etc which is really painful to get a working version of the ancient software to do it).
3) configuring the OS is nothing like you can see in the tutorials on the web. one may discover soon that there are no certain control panels, and such.
I wish i could go back to 7.01 or 7.1 for a faster operation, but im not crazy Figuring this out took a whole night already...

Ethernet Card Missing

My ethernet connection has not been working--I have not used it for sometime, so it is possible it's a has been a problem for a few months, but I also upgraded to Snow Leopard recently. Someone told me to verify the ethernet cards' existence in my Utilities folder, and alas, it is missing. What can I do?

Everything looks ok except for the "Unplugged" report while plugged in. I am unable to duplicate that result except by being unplugged, so I can only guess that there is a hardware problem with your MacBook's ethernet jack or elsewhere on the boards inside, and the plug you're inserting somehow can't be recognized. Hopefully it's still within warranty or AppleCare.
Has the Apple Hardware Test reported any error code? That code will be a help to the repair folks if it has. Best of luck with getting it fixed, or you may be restricted to using wireless - could be worse.

Missing ethernet card 27inch iMac

Since a couple of days my 1 year old iMac seems to have lost touch with its ethernet card. In network settings I am unable to add an ethernet connection. When I run more info from about my Mac the system now tells me "This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet cards installed."How the **** did that happen? It has been working flawlessly for 12 months. I already have reset the pram etc, without any positive revival of the network card. Is there anything I can do/check to find a solution without taking the computer to a service center (support has just finished)?

Try creating a fresh user account and check the Network preference pane under that one. Does the issue remain or are you able to use ethernet there? That will tell you whether the issue is account-specific or system-wide.
If it is system-wide, try rebooting the machine and holding down the "D" key after the startup chime to boot into Apple Hardware Test (this is usually installed on a partition of your HDD on newer machines. If not, you can pop in whichever install disc is labeled for AHT and do the same procedure). Run the "extended" test and see what the results are. It could be that your NIC has gone bad.

G5 Can't See Gigabit Ethernet Card

Some months back, I installed a gigabit ethernet card into my G5. It worked fine for a few months, then stopped working with a message: The cable for PCI Ethernet Slot 3, Port 2 is not plugged in. I wasn't working on the project that required that connection, so I just let it go. Now I need to connect to a different gigabit switch. I installed a new D-Link card into the same slot as before - same result. I moved the D-Link card to a different slot - and got the same error - still referring to Slot 3. Just for kicks, I installed the old card back into slot 2 (the one above the video card). Same error - and no mention of finding two cards or of anything in the other slots. It seems as if somehow all of the PCI slots are being ignored.
Running the System Profiler, I get a "No Information Found" for PCI Cards. None of the lights on either ethernet card come on. Any ideas? Everything else on the machine seems to be working correctly - the built-in ethernet is fine. There are a lot of drives connected to the system (4 on the FireWire 800, 1 on FW 400, 4 on USB). Is there some way to force a re-scan of the PCI bus? or turn it on?
Thanks!!
G5 2 X 2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thomas -
Yes - I tried swapping slots. A gigabit card worked fine in slot 3 for several months. It stopped working - I figured it was the card that was th eproblem. I have since replaced the card, and then moved the new one to a different slot. The Network control panel still reports a card in slot 3, even though there is nothing in slot 3. The new card is in slot 4 (and just for kicks the old card is in slot 2). Neither of these is recognized by the the System Profiler or the network control panel.

Ethernet card issue...can't get rid of self-assigned IP

Hi folks,
I am using an circa 2005 iMac G5 PPC desktop with 10.5.8. I am trying to connect the iMac to my Time Capsule via ethernet cable, but seem to be having problems with my ethernet card. When I plug into the TC ethernet port, the TC drive, does not mount and I cannot access the worldwide web.
When I go to System Preferences --> Networking, the tab on the left for ethernet connection shows a green dot, says "self-assigned IP" and the status says "connected" PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE ETHERNET CABLE TO THE TIME CAPSULE. It shows a "self-assigned" IP (DHCP selected) of 169.254.69.249, even though I know my TC is 10.0.1.1. Turning the ethernet off then back on, renewing the DHCP lease, nothing seems to be able to make this 169 IP address go away. The wireless connection to the TC is just fine... everything does what it should, I just can't get the ethernet cable connection to work.
Out of curriosity, I went to the System Profiler, and on the network tab it shows ethernet IPv4 169.254.69.249 (name en0).
I know it's not the Time Capsule, as I connected my laptop to it just fine via ethernet. The TC was IP 10.0.1.1 and it assigned 10.0.1.5 to my laptop (I have a variety of devices on my network), and I was able to transfer data and access the internet with no issues whatsoever.
I live in an 32 story apartment with a built-in ethernet network and ISP included in my rent. It's pretty nice, high speed. I connect from the wall to the Time Capsule via ethernet (circle dot connection port, so I know I have the right port), and then wirelessly out to a couple of laptops, a couple of Airport Express, and of course my desktop.
Bottom line, I think the ethernet card on iMac G5 desktop has gone bad: A few questions:
(1) Any ideas what may be wrong? Has anyone seen this self-assigned IP thing that won't go away?
(2) Any ideas how to fix it?
(3) How much will it cost? It may be time to replace my 6-year old desk top computer.
Thanks, Andy

I've swapped out several cables still with no luck, and the current cable definitely has 8 pins and worked with my laptop, so I'm confident it's not the cable. Also, the Time Capsule seems to be OK, because it too worked with my laptop using the same port. The only variable that doesn't seem to be cooperating is my desktop computer.
Also, I have tried to manually assign an IP consistent with the network & appropriate subnet mask. It seems to take the IP address manually, but still I can't get internet access, and can't ping the Time Capsule in network utility either.
Finally, when I connect the desktop directly to my wall outlet, taking the router out of the equation entirely, network diagnostics shows ethernet failure...
Does that sound like a bad ethernet card?
What does it take to replace an ethernet card in an iMac G5?
Cheers, Thanks, Andy

Time Machine not working after ethernet card failed

A couple of weeks back my iMac Core Duo's ethernet failed. As a logic board replacement for a 3.5 year old iMac would be expensive I instead bought an Apple USB Ethernet adapter (which works great). However, now Time Machine will not work, it says it cannot find the built in network interface. It does not matter whether I connect the external drive directly via firewire or over the network to my Mac Mini (which will backup with either connection).
Here is the console error:
+Time Machine: Error setting backup path: Error Domain=com.apple.TimeMachine.Preferences Code=-1 UserInfo=0x1864bdf0 "Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found."+
+_CSBackupGetMachineMACAddress - IOServiceGetMatchingServices did not find an ethernet service with kIOPrimaryInterface true+
I tried the instructions on the Apple Support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275#5, but that did not work. Can anyone help?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
It's a long shot, but try a "Full Reset" of Time Machine, per item #B3 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
TM uses your Mac's Ethernet Address, which is embedded in the hardware of, guess what, your logic board, to identify your computer. This is how it keeps the backups for each Mac separate, so you can back-up more than one Mac to the same place without conflicts.
To find this address, use the System Profiler app (click the Apple icon at the left of your Menubar, then +About this Mac,+ then +More Info.+
Select Network in the sidebar, then Ethernet then find a line like this: +*MAC Address: 0a:1b:2c:3d:4e:5f+* That code, omitting the colons, is what TM puts in a hidden file on your TM volume to identify it as your Mac's backups.
Since your internal Ethernet card failed, you may not see that at all. If not, neither, apparently, can Time Machine. Other than getting a new logic board, I don't think there's a workaround.
