Unable to detect integrated lan card

[rickytheanuj]

hi,

my new Asus 5SD2-VM motherboard can not detect the integrated (inviled) nic card and when i install the lan card driver from the motherboard cd comes with asus 5SD2-VM, does not work.. when i checked device manager, infront of lan card sis191 ethernet it shows exclamation (!) sign.

And when i install new lan card in pci slot, the same thing happens.. unable to install appropriate driver.. what's the problem..

what is wrong.. is it possible to disable lan from from bios.. if yes then where i m unable to find the position

If you look at the properties of the NIC in Device Manager, it has a description box. Typically normal operation will say "This Device is Working Properly" but if there is a problem, it will show error codes.

A true case of "hardware is bad" is when Device Manager shows a Code 10. Code 10 usually means you have a driver installed, but see a message that it was unable to start the device. This is caused by it either being disabled in the BIOS, a resource conflict (rare nowadays) or that particular part being bad. For some motherboards, even if the device is disabled in the BIOS, it may still be detected and show a Code 10. You can also get a Code 10 if you have forced a driver to install for a device that isn't present in the system. For example, if you had the wrong network driver and forced it to install, it would give an error even if it could see the real device. If you have ever experimented with driver editing, you have seen this happen.

You may have other errors. There are two to three error codes that are specifically driver related, such as Code 1. Knowing what Code you are getting is a good start for troubleshooting.

Here is the KB for the codes, ask about any specifically if the Microsoft explanation is confusing:

Thank you for your reply..

I think that is hardware problem. When i install another nic card in pci slot it works fine... and about the hardware i said before the attached nic card. It show cod 10 error if i install appropriate driver too, so i think that's the device problem.

Thank you again
