Device controllers are physical things, right?

Friend started having some issues connecting to the internet  and tried the online solutions, but no luck.

 

I suggested we try reinstalling the network drivers but came across a few things..

Firstly, when we went to uninstall the ethernet driver it said "Confirm device uninstall:" Killer E2200 Gigabit ethernet controller" and there was on option to ALSO delete the driver software...I thought that was what we were doing? :P

 

Secondly, what are all these other things in the pic? 

Finally, how do we know what stuff we need when installing the new driver because as you can see, it's not very descriptive..

 

Thanks!

Uninstalling an onboard device is just telling Windows to not use it, and can a bitch to reverse.

Just download the driver, and select uninstall driver when it asks.

 

Also, the additional devices listed are just components of a wifi chipset.

 

Most devices listed in Device Manager are physical, but they can be part of the mainboard, GPU, etc.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
