GA-970A-UD3P Network Driver

[Figgle]

Hey, I just finished my new PC build using the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P motherboard, but I can't find a driver for the network. I've found LAN and ethernet drivers, but they don't do the trick. Help please?

there is no other driver for this~ if this doesn't work then you have an issue with your network somewhere... either a bum onboard ethernet card, or a bad line or a bad modem.

I'm running windows 7, installing that driver did nothing. I've tried using that one already, didn't work. The repair didnt work. I'm currently tethering internet from my phone to use the computer, that's how I know my internet isn't faulty.

To clarify, I'm trying to use wireless internet, not ethernet. Is this impossible?

ah. that's your problem then. the LAN drivers are for the ethernet port.

what is your wireless card?

Guess who just realized that his Newegg bundle didnt come with a wireless card! -_-

I know next to nothing about networking, I'm assuming that I cant connect now?

I thought taht this card was built into my motherboard, but I guess not. It doesn't show up in the device manager.

yep. spent $20 get a wireless card. I just bought this card a few weeks ago to match up my wireless card's performance with my router. (i had an ancient wireless card that had been passed down through 3 generations of pcs i was replacing), i had replaced the router, and upgraded my net access... and realized i was being bottlenecked by my wireless card

Worked great for me - thanks for the tip.
