New network adapter 'NET' detected

[Ankit Bhatla]

my system just detected a new network adapter 'net' but i dont have any drivers to install it. i tried searching windows update for that but to no success.

also my system doesnt detect my broadcom wireless adapter everytime i start my notebook. it only appears once in a blue moon.

i had my motherboard replaced and it worked fine till a few days back and again my wireless adapter was gone.

Hi "dv6087ea",

Windows XP or Vista? Assuming XP, get the latest Broadcom driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3216222〈=en

Boot to safe mode and remove all instances of the Network adapter(s) from device manager, reboot normally.

I would cancel XP's attempt at installing the driver upon rebooting and install the one you downloaded.

Why was the system board replaced in the first place? Sometimes, history can be relevant.

I have the exact same problem now. My motherboard was replaced as well. I have a HP Tx1000 tablet PC. The reason for the replacement was I had a problem with display which finally degraded into the point where I can no longer boot the machine.

Please help.

seems like this gradual deterioration starting with WLAN card disappearing is quite common with tx100 models.

it happened to me a couple of days ago and i have been collecting the info here: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=19208

Hey, it's great that you are doing this. I hope everybody will pitch in and get HP to admit this problem. Up to now their indifference to this problem is appalling.
