Hello guys

I have an Acer Aspire 5737Z laptop, my wireless connection was working fine up until a few days ago when i got this message ;

Windows needs to install driver software for your Ethernet controller

I have downloaded the LAN Marvell v10.55.3.3 from the Acer website and installed it and nothing has happened.

I am still puzzled as to why this has suddenly happened and it is really annoying that i cant get my head round how to fix it.

Anyway in my device manager...i have network adapter 'Generic Marvell Yukon 88E8071 based Ethernet Controller' this has a yellow triangle..

The details for this are as follows;

PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_436B&SUBSYS_013F1025&REV_16
PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_436B&SUBSYS_013F1025
PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_436B&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_436B&CC_0200

in other devices, i see Ethernet controller, again with the yellow triangle, the values for this are as follows;

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_FF1C&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_FF1C&SUBSYS_00000000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_FF1C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_FF1C
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_FF1C&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_FF1C&CC_0200

I hope this helps

Any further information please ask

Kindest regards and much appreciated :)
 
Thank you for the reply.

My operating system is Vista,


I have downloaded the file mentioned but i dont see any setup icon? just system files? how do i install these files?

thanks once again
 
go into device manager and right click on the device and click on update driver. point the driver update to where those files are that you downloaded. It will automatically find the driver and update it.
 
For the Generic Marvell Yukon 88E8071 based Ethernet controller - Its says 'The best driver software for your device is already installed'

For Ethernet Controller - it says 'Windows was unable to install your unknown device'

Any suggestions?

I still have the yellow triangle above the Ethernet controller icon.
 
are you running the 32bit or 64 bit version of vista? It looks like you've got the wrong ethernet driver installed. You may have to right click on those links and click on open in new window for them to work.

if 32 bit
