Sometimes when I start up my PC, my internet won't work because the wrong driver is being loaded.

This is the driver that sometimes loads up 82579LM"

Then when I do a "scan for hardware change", it'll load up the correct driver and my internet will start working 82579V:

This happens with the default driver that Windows 8 installs and the one from Intel's website as well:

I know this is a Windows 8 problem because this didn't happen on Windows 7.
