I tried doing that, but when I uninstall the device, the device completely disappears from the device manager. Is there some way to install the new drivers without selecting that device itself?
Edit: On further inspection, the device disappears from the network adapters menu into "other devices", and I have installed the downloaded driver now. After the automatic reinstall I mentioned before, the device manager said it was using this one at first, but then after another restart without removing the driver it changed to another version I'd tried which was causing BSODs. Hopefully this will work now.
