Hi!

I just bought a new network adapter TP-Link TG-3269 because my mobo network controllers didn't work (Mobo is IP35 Pro). New adapter didn't change anything, nothing in device manager.

TP-link adapter has RTL8169SC and motherboard has RTL8110SC.

Problem is, that in Device manager you cant see any network controllers at all. I've tried to install drivers via what Realtek offers: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=4&PFid=4&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8110SC(L)

But when i try to install drivers with that it says "The realtek Network Controller was not found. If deep sleep mode is enabled Please plug the cable."

I've went trough almost every forum, and tested things but still can't find the answer. Do i need to buy new mother board?

I tested that network adapter on my friends comp, worked no prob. I bought a new mobo now, my socket is 775 so it wasnt expensive.

But anyways, thanks for helping. Pci slots and ethernet controllers are just dead imo.
