I'm running Win 7 build 7100. Earlier today I got the popup saying new updates available and - like a fool - I just installed all of them. (I seem to remember 3) One of them was an update to the network card, an Atheros driver. However, shortly after installing it, I could no longer connect to the internet or the local network. I've tried rebooting, but with no luck - still the same problem. (I'm writing from my laptop...) The strange thing is that it seems like the internet is up for a very, very short while just after booting, as Diggsby (my IM client) can connect and check for new email. Anyway, does anyone have a fix for this? Or a way to roll back the driver to the previous version? Anything, really? EDIT: System restore fixed it... Phew... A PC with no net is no fun :)

If you ever face such problem after updating drivers through windows update, most of the time a system restore will rollback the drivers... Windows 7 always creates a system restore point before updating.. Good to hear you are back online :)

Hi, To roll back driver, please refer the following article. How to Roll Back a Device Driver May be the driver itself is corrupt, or the driver update is not installed properly. You may choose: Roll back the driver and hide the driver updateOr remove the current driver and reinstall it. Then run Windows Update to see if it is still offered.Arthur Xie - MSFT
