Problem for Abit IS7-V2 Motherboard

No ethernet driver for is7-v2 in xp/vista/w7




By paulithimus on Feb 03, 2009

" "
Installs of Xp, vista, and windows 7 have all been unable to find the ethernet controller driver. its onboard LAN but is constantly listed as ethernet controller ( with the lil yellow icon) in device manager.i have the mobo cd and installed all of the stuff out of autorun. later i got desperate and found 3 lan drivers in the cd, but none of them seem to work ( maybe for other models of the board).

pretty annoyed, just want ethernet to work.


on this same board, i tried installing my gigabit PCI card and my MSI wireless PCI card..... neither seem to work, but its possible these are broken.... the motherboard itself is brand new ( never been used )

- Yes I did.
"found 3 lan drivers in the cd, but none of them seem to work ( maybe for other models of the board)."

The autorun setup installed a bunch of chipset and audio drivers. The ethernet still wasnt showing up after reboot. so i manually located drivers on the cd. there was (3com, reltek, and some other brand.) but none of these worked.

Clarification Request

Did you install the motherboard drivers from the CD that came with the motherboard? It should have the driver for the ethernet controller on it.

manually browse to the ehternet folder on the disk and point it to 3com folder, it will install from there - took me a while to work this out but i have IS7 board too and i'm using it now on vista to type this so you know it works!

Take a look here:

Be sure to also install the chipset drivers, if that is missing it would explain why so many things do not work. If they still do not work after installing these, I would recommend returning it to the store and getting a replacement, it could be a lemon.
