Detailed Description
Qualcomm Atheros AR81xx Drivers Version 2.1.0.27
The driver package provides the installation files for Qualcomm Atheros AR81xx Drivers Version 2.1.0.27 .
If you consider updating this driver package by Driver Genius, all you need to do is clicking the Update button beside this driver update. Driver Genius will install the driver automatically, smoothly and silently.
Moreover, constantly scan driver updates by Driver Genius or enable the Scheduled Scan function in Options- Schedule to make sure that you will not miss a new release.
About Network/Bluetooth adapter driver:
Windows usually offer a generic driver that allows systems to recognize the network component. However, in order to use all available features of this hardware, you must install the appropriate drivers.
Installing the network/bluetooth adapter driver allows systems to read network chipset information and manufacturer name, as well as connect to a network without using an Ethernet cable (wirelss network/bluetooth adapter).
Updating the driver version can resolve different compatibility issues, fix related errors spotted throughout the product usage, add support for new operating systems, improve transfer speed, as well as bring various other changes.

Hi there!
So I tried to update from Windows 8 to 10 last week.
That didn't work for me, so I had to format everything and install Windows 10 afterwards.
At first neither W-LAN nor LAN would work. Then I un- & reinstalled the W-LAN driver so now everything's fine except for my ethernet connection.
- Adapter is enabled
- I have un- & reinstalled the driver multiple times (even tried compatability mode, since some sites state that the latest version for AR8161 only supports win 8)
- I was about a thousand times in the properties menu of the ethernet adapter
The full name of the adapter is 'Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)'
I really do not want to lose all the stuff I already configured, so if some of you can help me with this issue I would be very grateful.
I just ran diagnostics on the ethernet adapter and after trying to fix some network protocols Windows prompted me with this.
So I tried to fix this by entering
in cmd which sadly didn't do the trick.
Neither did entering
in cmd (admin ofc) after editing the permissions for the '26' folder in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Nsi/{eb004a00-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc} so the group 'everyone' has 'full control'.
Long story short: I am still stuck here w/ the 'One or more network protocols are missing on this computer' -problem.
