"Intel 82566MC Gigabit Network Device Cannot Start (Code 10)"

Solution:

1. de-install device in device manager
2. Turn the computer off.
3. Unplug the laptop.
4. Pull out the battery
5. Open the laptop lid and press the power button 11 times. 10 times normally and on the 11th, hold it for 15 seconds. This will clear the board of the excess charge the Lenovo's seem to build up.
6. Put the battery back in.
7. Plug the power back in.
8. Turn the system back on.
9. install the ethernet device

This is a bug of Lenovo or Intel.
