I have two 'other devices' in my device manager that I can't get rid of. 1. Is the ethernet controller on my motherboard and 2. is an SM bus controller.

I believe this is a motherboard (software) issue. I've looked for my motherboard CD drivers disk, but I cannot find it. Last night I went to Intel's website and downloaded the appropriate drivers for it (I got the information for my motherboard in the BIOS section when I booted up). The two 'other devices' are still there...any suggestions?
