Hello,

Go to this webpage and download this driver. It is the Lan driver, also known as ethernet controller etc. Hope this resolves your issue.

Hi,

If that first driver download did not work, then try this one.

http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=IT&selCategory=2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=621&language=24&selOS=all&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=allMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=19&selectedLanguage=24&type=all&page=1&ID=46036&OSID=10&driverLanguage=42

There are 2 different lan drivers for this model. One for the realtek, and the other for intel. The PSAA2 uses the Realtek, and the PSAA4 and PSAA9 use the intel. I want to say that you both have PSAA2 because thats the european model. This number is located on the bottom of the notebook where the A100-165 is located. The first driver I posted is the intel LAN driver, this one is the Realtek. I hope this one here works. Try it and let me know. Thanks.

Hello,

Want to let Anke know that he needs to download the Chipset driver from Toshiba website, a link is included in the thread that Phguisset started about the A100 ethernet controller. This should resolve any issues you are having with the Ethernet controller. Have a nice day.

thanks for your help but none of the drivers solved the problem- still showing a big yellow ? at "Ethernet Controller" and telling me that he can't detect hardware as there is no driver for this hardware installed. Any other ideas?

Ankef,

First thing to di is uninstall the unknown device. Go to device managers, right click the device, and click to uninstall it. AFter this go to this website and download the device named Chipset manager.

http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=IT&selCategory=2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&language=13&selOS=all&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=allMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=9&selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=1&ID=47461&OSID=10&driverLanguage=42

Install it then reinstall the Lan driver. This should make everything work. Look on the bottom of your notebook, and find out if your A100 is SAA9, SAA2 or SAA4. And make sure you download the appropriate drivers for your model, because A100-SAA9 is different then A100-SAA4. Make sure you are downloading the correct drivers and all should work fine.
