    1394 is firewire, and the NVIDIA network controller is your on-board ethernet.

      I KNOW THAT (no offense meant) but how can i get rid of them because they interfere (after a while) with my connectivity and stop the Net, and everytime i have to do the MS Diagnostic test that shows that that ethernet thingy still seems to be active regardless if I disable it or uninstall it.... :'(

        1394 disabled but Nvidia Network controller cant be disabled, has something to do with protocols and being in use????????????????????????

        disabled it anyway in devicemanager, was ok, but this breach in connectivity still occurs...MS Diagnostics says that I still have ethernet connection stuff and wireless....but i cant see any ethernetstuff in my devicemanager

        Here under you see the existing situation before I disabled the both, 1394 and NVIDIA aso the wireless was the only one there, but still I have connectivity problems after a couple of minutes

        You could also disable it from the BIOS

                Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.

                    Anything in the BIOS that says "LAN" or "NIC"?
