Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet:
Driver Provider: Broadcom
Driver Version: 15.6.0.2
Driver Date: 15/10/2012
(Broadcom Website Driver Date Show Different Date: 06/04/13 )
Intel(R) Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter
Driver Provider: Intel
Driver Version: 12.7.27.0
Driver Date: 16/05/2013
The installed driver, version: 12.7.27.0 is current according to “Intel® Driver Update Utility”, despite the Intel centre showing v18.5 as being the latest driver.
Even when the v18.5is installed, the adapter properties still show v12.7.27.0.
Is there any way to ‘purge’ all previous network driver remnants and start over?
