You should be able to find the drivers on the cd that was included with your mobo.

I recently put together my new gaming PC with an MSI Z77A-G45 as my motherboard. I just installed a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and everything went smoothly. Then I tried plugged my Ethernet cable from my motherboard's NIC to my home modem. My computer couldn't detect any networks and did not recognize the Ethernet cable being plugged in, although my NIC is lit up green and has a flashing yellow light. Windows is telling me that my network adapter driver is missing. I tried searching through the device manager to see what drivers were installed and none were able to be detected. I don't have a router, just a standard at&t wireless/modem combo that was provided by my ISP. I'm stuck and everybody knows that a PC is useless without internet. Can somebody please give me some troubleshooting tips on connecting to the internet or what I can do to have my network adapter to update and function! Thanks.

What are you posting from? If another laptop, download drivers from MSI and transfer via USB, if on a phone download them on your phone (assuming android) and transfer them via USB.

Happened to my friend when he reinstalled Windows a few weeks ago. Install your network drivers off the CD

Thank you so much everybody with your feedback! Ugh, my stupidity. All I needed was the motherboard's driver CD to install the Intel drivers for the LAN. Thanks everybody! Now I'm off to download my Never Settle Bundle thanks to everyone with their answers!
