    Hello all,
    I have an HP Dv2120us laptop, and when i upgraded to vista, i ran in to
    a problem and i cant seem to figure it out.

    I upgraded to vista while in XP, and i forgot to flash my bios (at the time my bios was from august 06 :( ) and after that slipped my mind i went ahead and installed all of my drivers, and after everything was installed. vista refused to recognize my ethernet card. so then i realized i should have flashed my bios. So i flashed my bios AFTER installing all of my vista drivers. then it proceeded to BSOD on me every reboot, so i decided to format completely and start over. so i format with the good bios still on there, and now it still wont recongnize my ethernet after all the drivers are installed. it is literally nowhere. so if anyone has the location to an older bios so i could flash back then flash again to the new one, that would be great. and if anyone has any other solutions that would be appreciated. :D
