Hi,

I recently built a PC with the MSi B85 G43 Gaming motherboard. managed to install windows fine, but am struggling to install network drivers. I downloaded the latest off the MSI website, and when I go to install them, it comes up with an error:

"No Qualcomm Atheros devices detected on this PC" so it can't install the drivers.

I've tried quite a few things, but can't get the network drivers to install, despite me being fairly certain the motherboard I use does have a Killer network chip on it, the driver utility still doesn't detect it. The device itself is detected in device manager however, but obviously says no drivers installed for it.

I've tried just installing the Pure Drivers, (without the suite) but still failed, and also tried the Killer Cleaner but that also didnt change anything.

Thanks
 
Solution
go into the Device Manager
right click on the device you are trying to install drivers for and choose Properties
select the Details tab
From the Property pull-down menu select Hardware IDs
post the first line in the Value field here
