All these replies urging us to go to a website and download an updated ethernet controller driver are useless because you can't even access the internet without the ethernet controller, unless you have a second PC already hooked up to work with the internet.


Go to the support Website :

 of the maker of your computer :
 or of the maker of your Motherboard if your computer is  an assembled computer.

Eg.

https://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/
https://www.asus.com/support­
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/products/?app=drivers
https://www.emachines.com/ec/en/US/content/drivers.html
https://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/

Then make a copy of the ethernet driver, and then copy it onto the original PC to get it acces the intenet. Most people may have to go to a computer repair store and ask if they can buy the ethernet controller driver for their OS and PC on a CD or flashdrive, or instead, but an external Ehternet controller device and connect it to your PC via USB.

what brand and model computer?

Tent · Answer

If you have a usb connector you can use that.
Once its recognized as hardware to install you'll
be able to connect to the internet & look for your
drivers. I had a similar situation and was able to
find all xp drivers except the ethernet for gateway.
At the moment I don't need it though. It takes a 
while to make it show up on your pc, but in your
case im sure you'll be fine trying that out

Have to tried the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter drivers?

First find the web site for the motherboard manufacturer.  You should find the drivers you need within the "support" tab.

Good Luck

Guys,

I did some digging, and the ethernet controller is not a device, there is an adapter (probably wireless) that needs a driver.  Lavalys' program Everest will tell you who makes the wireless adapter in your pc.  If you can figure out who makes the wireless adapter on your own just install the drivers for it.  Remember an "ethernet controller" is not a device, it is a general useless description of a problem.
