    Yea, you might try to live with it awhile (if you want) but be sure to keep your warranty window in mind!! (see if Windows 7 and/or driver updates help). Tho, of course, i can't be certain h/w isn't involved as well in addition to my software speculation above!

    And glad to try and help! :)

    Hello guys again!

    I really couldn't sleep last night thinking about my Ethernet Driver's problem, i haven't contact Asus yet since if it is not a hardware problem but software then there must be a way to solve it. I was just thinking about the "MSCONFIG" tool from Windows, could there be an start up entry that is preventing or causing this Ethernet Controller Issue? perhaps windows is adding this start up entry automatically?

    If so, here text file with my entry list:

    Hello guys!

    I just wanted to follow this thread with a quick update regarding my Asus ethernet controller driver... finally i decided to send my laptop back to Asus with a detailed description of the problem... i got it back today and guess what? the sent me the laptop back without fixing the problem, they said the did all testing to my ethernet controller and they couldn't find any problem with it. Also what is worse is... they sent me a survey email saying:


    I was just wondering what should i do now? perhaps they were not that curious to find the ethernet controller message?
