I have the above installed on my mobo and am getting a device coe 10 - this device cannot start, hence cannot use this ethernet port. I have tried installing new drivers from the manufacturer site for Vista - no luck. Tried uninstalling, and reinstalling - no luck. Does anybody have any other ideas on what I can do to get this to work?

I want to set up a wireless network, but have been told I will need to use this ethernet port to do so. Is an alternative to use a USB ->Ethernet adaptor? Hi, Does your motherboard have an on-board network adapter?

Some models of motherboards does not support dual Ethernet adapter. If this is your case, please disable the on-board network adapter from BIOS to make the installed network adapter work. The detail information regarding how to disable the on-board network adapter can be found on the instruction of the motherboard. If the issue persists, please confirm whether your driver is the latest. The latest drivers can be downloaded from the following Realtek website.

If the issue still occurs when the network adapter driver is the latest, please temporary disable the anti-virus on the computer, and then check if the issue still occurs. Additionally, if you would like to create a wireless network, you may just install an internal or external wireless network adapter. Hope the information helps.

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard which includes dual RTL 8111DL Ethernet ports. When I install the drivers supplied with the motherboard under Windows XP everything works fine.

However, when I download the updated driver via Microsoft update both Ethernet ports stop working with the same fault reported by riteoh above. Mindjet Mindmanager 2012 Pro V 10.0.445 Latest With Serial on this page. Rolling back to the original driver gets everything working again. I also get exactly the same problem with Windows 7 RC (built 7100). On install with the default drivers both Ethernet ports work correctly, however if I use the updated driver from Windows Update they both stop with the same fault as I see in XP. If I then roll back to the original driver, everything is fine. I have checked with the board riteoh is using (GA-MA790GX-DS4H) and this has a single RTL8111C chip built in, and I suspect in riteoh's case he is using this Ethernet connection rather than using a separate Ethernet card.

From this I assume the driver on Microsoft/Windows Update is either defective or not compatible with the RTL8111 series. It should therefore be withdrawn from the Updates whilst this problem is investigated. If this message is not likely to be seen by the Update team does anyone know how I can go about reporting a potentially faulty driver to them so they can investigate and rectify the problem? This is potentially a very serious issue as in most cases it means that the affected computer will have no internet access until the driver is rolled back, and since most users won't know how to roll back the driver to fix the problem without asking the question on line there could be a lot of users who end up with a PC they can't use.
