Hello:
I bought a new Lenovo PC last year. It came with Windows 7 and the Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection Adapter. I had no connections issues until I upgraded to Windows 8. Now the PC boots up without a connection almost every time. I downloaded and installed the latest driver 82579V. However, each time I boot my PC, Windows uses the old version 82579LM and I still get the disconnected network. I can (and have) uninstalled 82579LM and installed 82579V using the Device Manager but that does not solve the problem because at boot time it founds 82579LM and installs it again. How do I permanently uninstall the 82579LM driver and install 82579V? Until I do that I won't know if my connection issue is solved with 82579V. Thanks for any help.
