Hi,

 

Thank you for your answer. Yes I have allready tried Win8 drivers.

Help:  I am not a tech savvy person.  I "upgraded" to Windows 8.1 and now my broadcom ethernet adapter is constantly disabled and interrupts my internet connection.  I went on the broadcom site to update the driver and followed the directions to ID my current driver.  Here is what I got:  PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1691&SUBSYS_2ADE103C&REV_01\4&8D52389&0&00E5

 

I looked for the device ID on the broadcom website which, according to the above, is 1691.  But there is no 1691 listed on the Ethernet controller device ID.  I am completely frustrated.  Short of replacing the squirrel, which I am reliably told is how my computer runs, I don't know what to do.

I posted a question before I saw your response.  My problem is that the broadcom ethernet device number in the string you provided is PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1691&SUBSYS_2ADE103C&REV_01\4&8D52389&0&00E5.   There is no Broadcom Ethernet Controller device id # 1691.  Any further suggestions?
