I have a Clevo D900f laptop, when I turned it on today i see in device manager there's nothing under network adapters (Neither the wireless adapter or the on board gigabit is present). All drivers are installed and there's nothing with a yellow exclamation next to it.

The Fn + wireless key works as the wireless light toggles on/off. If I remove the Wifi pcie module the Fn + wireless key doesn't do anything (which is normal). I tried plugging the module into a different pcie slot but it still doesn't get detected.

I also tried doing a fresh install and still the same results. In the bios there's no option to disable the on board LAN or wireless so they're always enabled.

Any ideas? Find it odd as the LAN and Wifi was working just fine this morning :/


Edit
Fixed it, was a Windows issue. Went into safe mode, un installed drivers and rebooted then reinstalled drivers.
