    Hey,

    I think at some point I accidentally turned off the RJ-45 port on my laptop...SiSoft Sandra indicates my network chip (Marvell Yukon II), but Device Manager shows nothing, and I just can't get it to work! Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried getting into your BIOS and see if you can enable it from there? Press "F2" during boot up i guess.

    There is no such option in the BIOS, I'm afraid...the chip does seem to be functioning on some level, since Sandra identifies it correctly, but how it stays disabled is a mystery to me.
