Network adapter continues to come up missing. We have uninstalled W7 and reinstalled it. I have installed new drivers several times. But after prolonged shutdown or restart for updates it comes up missing most of the time. When I go to device mgr it is not there most of the time. When it is there and computer says it is missing I uninstall the adapter and let computer reinstall the adapter. But if it is missing from Device mgr screen I cannot reinstall. Been having this problem for over year now. Is it W7? or is it a Dell Problem?

Thanks for any assistance

Thanks but drivers have been uninstalled and reinstalled updated drivers. The network adapter still comes up missing about half the time. Already uninstalled W7 twice and reinstalled. I believe this is a Windows 7 issue and really disappointed in MS

This adapter is installed with Windows 7 and is not a stand alone adapter able to be plugged in. It works off of a driver which I have installed and updated several times. I have uninstalled W7 twice also.

Thanks
