My Local Area Connection adapter is missing from my network connections, i have reinstalled the driver about 5 different times, from device manager and the setup itself, my ethernet port is constantly flashing red,

Im completely lost at this point, im trying not to reset windows, but i think i may have to if i cant find a way to fix this.
My Operating System is Windows 10 Pro
My Network adapter card is a Atheros L1 Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Controller.
My Motherboard is a ASUS AI P5K
I port forwarded for garrys mod so my friend could join me, in steam overlay browser applied the ports in my router settings and i lost connection to steam after i applied, im still unable to connect to steam. I Search around for ages and found something, i reset my tcp/ip and winsock and restarted my computer, still nothing. i then find a video which tells me to make my ip address static and this is where everything fell apart, i go into to properties of my ethernet to find the internet protocol version 4 but everything is blank and there is nothing there, puzzled i then decide to uninstall my ethernet driver and to reinstall it to fix the problem, i uninstalled it from device manager (atheros l1 gigabit ethernet driver). i then go back into device manager and check for device changes, the driver appears back, but i am unable to connect to it from network and sharing center in my adapter settings. can somebody help me get my ethernet driver(local area connection) back into my network connections, there is nothing there apart from my wireless network which is how i posted this.
EDIT: I am able to connect to steam, but its through wifi, not ethernet because ethernet isnt an option i can choose in my adapter settings.
TL;DR: i F*****d up my ethernet driver now i cant use it.
