MSI z87 G45 gaming, killer network driver issue.
I used msi live updater to install and update to the Atheros Killer Network drivers and after downloading and installing I reboot and when I load back up I show zero connection to the internet when Ethernet is plugged in, no problems on any other computers both wifi and wired. So I figure it was a corrupted install or file to begin with so I uninstall and delete all trace of Athero Killer Network Manager and diagnostic and drivers. I download the driver from MSI's site on another computer and put it on a USB and install it on my dektop. Reboot and now I am stuck at Limited connection and windows shows a alert as "Ethernet drivers may have a problem". Not sure what to do, seems like it should be such an easy fix yet I am not sure where to look or what to do to solve this. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

So I solved the problem. When trying to uninstall all the the Killer Network software and drivers I missed 2 which were under the device managed under unknown drivers which ended up being network drivers. Once uninstalling those two I was able to install fresh and reboot and everything is back up and working perfectly. Thank you for the suggestions and help.

1. When 1st introduced on the MSI boiards, there were some issues that were resolved with a firmware update; this driver may be influenced as to whether you have that update.

2. Try reverting to old drivers to determine whether it's the driver or something else.
