I have run into an interesting problem...was wondering if anyone else has
seen this. I downloaded an update from Windows Update site for the Marvell
Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base -T Adapter, Copper RJ45. It totally
corrupted the driver...could not do anything...update, reinstall or
anything. Tried to uninstall but the problem remained...could not reinstall
or anything. Finally, out of desperation, did a system restore...don't
usually do this unless all else fails as it usually has a lot of unexpected
side effects...and it appears to have worked...at least, the drivers are
working again. Has anyone else had this problem??? CP

Never accept driver updates from windows update. This happens most of
the time, the item the driver was for stops working.

Yes, but on my A8V Dlx, essentially it's the same adapteer and from now on
I'll update my Yukon from the Marvell site only, new driver from there works
perfectly.
