Good evening ladies and gentleman

I wake up this morning and all of the sudden my laptop will no longer receive anything from the wireless network. In the network tool it would list all of the wireless networks around me and was showing I was connected to the network. However, any web application would say I wasn't connected.

Just to be sure I checked and my PS4, tablet, phone, etc were working fine and connecting.

So far I've tried restarting the computer, disabling and re-enabling the wireless card, resetting the wireless router, using a system restore point from 2 days prior, and uninstalling and re-installing the wireless card driver.

All have been dead ends. Now it is at the point the network will not display any wireless networks. When I look at it on control panel it is now listing it is "Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter, Local Area Connection 2, network cable unplugged." Device manager is also saying I don't have an ethenet controller driver installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
