device manager showing too many nic cards

[ryant]

Give us a clue.

What are these devices called?

If you have installed your network card in different PCI slot then for every instance of installation your system will create a network connection and hides if it is not being used any more, also if you put a different network card in your system it will do the same thing, basically you only need one of them there but I would leave it alone, it does not harm your computer.

just open device manager, and select view, and uncheck the show hidden devices, and poof they should be hidden. Out of sight = out of mind.
