I am having complications setting up an ethernet connection. When I check my network adapters, there is no option for a wired network and plugging in the ethernet cable brings up a notification to install a driver, but fails because it can't find one. The cable works perfectly, plugged it into a different laptop so I know it works, but the PC is just not picking it up.
I have a MSI GD-65 motherboard and there doesn't seem to be much support from MSI in regards to ethernet connections because I suppose that they are supposed to connect automatically. Any ideas as to how I can get my PC connected? Thanks

Well, that's weird. Can you go back to an earlier restore point, when the WiFi worked?
