A day after setting up a HP Compaq cd5100 MT desktop with this card in it we found the adapter mysteriously disabled. &nbsp;Any idea what would cause this? &nbsp;I could not find anything relevant in Event Viewer. &nbsp;I ran all the Broadcom diagnostics and tests and everything passed. &nbsp;I have since updated the driver to the latest from the HP web site. &nbsp;We need to prevent this from happenning again. &nbsp;Thank you.

Why would Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet network adapter become disabled?

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
