Ethernet card has "disappeared"

My ethernet card has "disappeared" from the system device manager. The Packet Scheduled Miniport is still there, but I can't find the actual ethernet adaptor.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

In System Information under Ethernet Cards it reads,
"This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet cards installed."

AirPort card has disappeared how to recover on mac os x 10.5.5

Hi all,
suddenly my Airport card has disappeared.... how can I get it back? I tried to restart the mac with opt command R-P but nothing... can some one please help this desperate mac user?? thank you so much.

In addition to running Hardware Test as suggested by Jolly Giant, have you tried reinstalling the 10.5.5 combo update?
As a side issue, is there a particular reason that you have not upgraded to 10.5.8? This might be a good time to do so.

Ethernet card disappears after SP3 install (T60 1951-45G)

Hi!
I updated my Windows XP to Service Pack 3 yesterday and now it seems my ethernet card has disappeared. i.e. it acts at it has been disabled in the BIOS (not showing up in device manager etc.). I've tried entering BIOS, hiding it, booting, restart, enable in BIOS and new boot but no luck. In another thread I saw people complaining about broken MS update and that a clean install might resolve the problem.
My question is if anyone else have had the same experience and if it is solvable without a clean install of a streamlined SP3.
My machine is a T60 1951-45G.
Everything else seems to run just fine by the way, but I'll post back if I find additional problems.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are reports of SP3 breaking LAN/WAN connectivity on many laptops (TechNet, MSFN, MS forums). Not quite certain what the resolution is at this point, and not quite certain whether a streamlined SP3 fresh install would be a fix for the issue. For some, SP3 disables WAN completely, while for others the issue is with LAN. It seems certain "newer" drivers are the culprit.
Before doing something drastic, try re-installing the LAN drivers from Lenovo to see if that fixes it, otherwise you may just have to revert back to SP2 (nothing wrong with it on an existing machine that otherwise runs without issues). SP3, afterall, is particularly a cumulative update (albeit with some new "features"), so really there's no great reason to update a working and updated XP-SP2 system with this new service pack.
On a side note, be sure to check if KB941644 was inadvertently installed as part of the update - it's a "hotfix" that is known to cause a number of connectivity issues (unresolvable).
You can check here (MS XP issues) to see if there is a solution to your issue.
Hope this clears things up

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

Ethernet card no longer showing in ifconfig [solved]

Hey,
Normally I don't have any problems with my networking, but this morning my wireless decided not to work. I haven't made made any changes in the past couple of days, so unsure what has caused it. Last Syu was on Thursday and every day including up until last night was fine.
So spent a while trying stuff out and stressing my tiny little brain for ideas, quick version is I did this:
netcfg: said interface didn't exist.
ifconfig: didn't list the interface (wireless is usually eth1)
lsmod: confirmed the module (ipw2200) was loaded
lspci: confirmed the card was there
After copying the output of the above commands plus the obligatory rc.conf onto usb to move to this machine (and just before pushing <submit> on a much larger post than this :-) I decided to check the mac address listed in ifconfig with what is on the sticker under my machine. Voila! My wireless has actually moved to eth0. OK, that's that solved. (Wish I checked that first though...)
But that means that the reason that my wireless card is now eth0 instead of eth1 is because my old-skool wired ethernet card is no longer there to be numero 0. Why isn't it working? lsmod shows that the tg3 module is loading (it's an Intel card with Broadcom chipset in a Thinkpad T43) , but it no longer shows up in ifconfig. lspci is not showing it (see below), only the wireless card comes up. Does this mean the hardware is borken? What else can I do to check the card?

Yeah, doesn't give me anything about the ethernet card, but does show the wireless one. No, hang on, just found it. Hmmm, didn't see it before, but I was grepping for 'net' then.
$ dmesg | grep -i eth
eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751M) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:12:34:56:78:9a
eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
eth1: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
OK, so it is at eth1 now, that makes sense since I put ipw2200 right at the beginning and tg3 right at the end of the MODULES array in rc.conf to avoid the system getting crossed up while trying load them too close together. Thanks B, so at least we know something is happening at boot time.
Btw, my assumption is that ifconfig shows hardware once it is loaded correctly, is that right? But apart from the modules, what else do I need to do to get it showing up in ifconfig?

Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Ethernet Card Not being Detected on my iMac 27Inch (Mid2010)

Hello,
I have only had my iMac for a couple of months, and it appears to have developed a fault. I have a network router, and a network cable is plugged in however, the Network Panel keeps reading as "Cable: Unplugged". It is not, i can assure you.
When I got into the About This Mac > System Profiler, it has "This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet cards installed." under the Ethernet Card option
I'm currently on Wireless (very skechty), and that also keeps dropping out even though the router is less a foot from the iMac.
Any Solutions or Advise please?
Thanks Phill C

I have the same problem after I installed LION on my imac 27" (Late 2010). It was working for few days and then after I restarted my computer my network card just went dead. Since I have several partitions I can boot back to Snow Leopard and it shows me ethernet just fine. So it means that LION has bugs and many bugs from what I can tell. It is wide spread problem and not sure if apple is doing anything about htis.

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

Credit Card number disappears

We have an odd situation for one of our customer
The sales user1 enter the sales order and enter the credit card number under the customer Payment terms. When the user2 copies to an Invoice and drill down to the BP Payment terms the card number disappears and show history shows card number is changed to a lengthy funny characters with user2 as the user name even though user2 has not done anything. Any idea? Any known issues in SAP 8.8 PL14 hot fix 1?
For one BP, the card number itself is changed and history shows the user is user2..the payment might taken from a wrong card number..

Configure Network (Ethernet Cards) interfaces doubts.

Hi All,
I m beginner in Solaris/Unix, and I have same problems in configure my network.
I have one machine with 2 Ethernet Cards, this machine has multiboot, than it have Solaris 10 and Windows XP.
I will show the configuration that I have on Window,I need the same configuration in Solaris:
In eth0:
IP: 192.168.0.117 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
Mask: 255.255.255.0 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is
netmaks , OK?)
Gatway: 192.168.0.254 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
Primary DNS: 192.168.0.254 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
I Have an DHCP Server in 192.168.0.254, than I can use dhcp.
The problems, When I try use DHCP:
Ifconfg eth0 DHCP
This command delay and return an Error.
If Itry configure manually, like
Ifconfg eth0 192.168.0.117 (this OK)
Ifconfg eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 (this OK)
Ifconfg eth0 broadcast 192.168.0.254 (here the 254 is changed to 255 that is broadcast default, but in my net broad cast or router is in 254)
Other thing how I save this configuration. When I restart I lost all changes�
Well in second interface the problem is same, but I didn�t have DHCP:
IP: 200.44.136.145 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
Mask: 255.255.255.192 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is netmaks , OK?)
Gatway: 200.44.136.129 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
fconfg eth1 200.44.136.145 (here .44 is changed to 36)
Any one can help-me please?
Thanks

yes. you got it .... eg..
/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/hostname.le1
in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
# hostname <cr>
should give your hostname.
now, in the hosts file: eg:
# Internet host table
127.0.0.1 localhost
<your ip address> <your hostname> loghost
129.156.89.252 host2
you need to reboot after this.
if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
also, see:
# man hosts
# man ifconfig

My Cable Company says my Ethernet Card is Dead

Hi, after a lightning storm my High Speed Internet connection stopped working. The Cable company says my Ethernet Card is dead. But my understanding of my G4 Power Mac architecture is that it has built in 10BaseT support and there is no separate card. If true, might I still have a burned out driver for the Ethernet plug on the back of the computer? Alternately, might lack of Ethernet be caused by corrupted software which could be fixed by re-intalling?

If you dont already have one, get a utility like macTCPing.
Are you also using a router, or are you direct connected to the cable modem?
Are your modem lights flashing slow (1/sec) or fast?
at 1 per second or less, then the modem is not talking to the cable company.
Are you getting a connection light on the modem indicating a valid signal from the Mac?
Reset your modem. (Remove from power, wait a few minutes, reconnect) There may also be a reset button on it.
ping 127.0.0.1
If that succeeds
you have passed local loopback.
check your IP configuration.
ping your own IP address.
if it works, then your ethernet port is probably OK.
if it fails, release and renew your ip address, and try again.
if that works,
ping the modem or your gateway address
if this fails, then reset the modem and try again.
if it fails, the modem is likely the problem
If it works
ping any web site.
if it works, you are set.
if it fails, then ping the name servers for your ISP.
if those fail, then there is an issue with the ISP and its NS, which is beyond your control.
They are hard to find, but there were a couple of companys that made PCI ethernet cards for Mac.
