Intel - Net - 1.0.2.6 issues

[Albin]

Recently I downloaded Intel - Net - 1.0.2.6 Drive. After the download was completed and everything was working fine. I shut down my PC and the next day I start up my PC. Then I notice that I have no ethernet connection but just wifi. I restart my PC and I got back my ethernet so I didn't think much about it. Next day I start my PC and I have no ethernet again so I restart my computer and then I get back ethernet.  At the time I didn't understand what was causing the problem but I read that you could reinstall the ethernet drive so I did that. Then on my start up I had ethernet. Then I saw I had a ned drive to install which was the 1.0.2.6 drive so I downloaded it again without knowing it was the drive that gave me the ethernet issue. Next start up I had no ethernet again so I reinstalled the ethernet drive again and I had ethernet on start up again. I see again I have the 1.0.2.6 drive to download and I notice that it is the issue. I dont know how I should fix it or what I should do because it just reinstalls automatically. 

tl;dr: Intel - Net - 1.0.2.6 drive causes my ethernet to stop working on my PCs initial start up. 

How should I fix it or what should I do?
