    I have a sony vaio FE-670G that I use as my mobile computer, my main laptop is a large sager and a desktop replacement. Anyways, the ethernet card has been burnt out for a long time now and I need to replace it. I am 100% positive it is not a driver error etc, the card is fried. I am having trouble determining whether or not I can replace the ethernet card alone so I was hoping someone here could help me make that determination. One theory I have is that it might be part of the motherboard and not a separate component.

    Can someone please help me determine whether or not I can purchase this replacement part by itself and guide me to where I might find it?
    If I cannot purchase the ethernet card by itself are there any other options I have to get a permanent ethernet input for this laptop?
