No network adapters in device manager windows 7

It showed that I was connected to the LAN but not the internet. I had trouble like this before, but it was either something I could fix by resetting the adapter or the DSL going down.

I checked the Device Manager and, sure enough, there was no Network Adapters heading. Since the MoBo is only about two months old, I want to believe it's not a hardware issue, but is there any other possible explanation? I'm going to RMA this by mid-September if there is no solution by then. I'll furnish any data needed to solve this problem. Thanks for any advice I can get. There are no unknown devices in Device Manager, I have installed all the drivers for all my hardware.

I even downloaded on another computer the newest drivers from MSI's site, including the network adapter driver, which I installed to no avail. There is a setting to disable or enable the LAN, but it's set to 'Enabled. The F12 key is the one with the airplane icon.
