    I just don't know what sub heading its under. 17xr3. Maybe I'm just not computer literate enough to know its called something else but no driver says 'Ethernet'. This is like my 13 th aw and I've never had Ethernet ports working although I follow batboys driver thread to the t.

    You don't need to look. Just click on the link above, download and install. Dell refers to it as a LAN driver instead of an Ethernet driver. Same, same.
