I had the exact same error message when my ethernet to usb adaptor went belly up yesterday. I uninstalled the driver (in your case uninstall the ethernet card driver I suppose) and re-install it.....worth a try.

Re: ethernet connection is not working
Me three.... the cable that came with the modem only lasted about 1 year - luckily I had a spare one kicking around, but it threw me for a while why it suddenly didn't work.
