I needed a way to fix this adapter 'without erasing' all my network configurations, vpn connections etc. Most of the time the adapter would either never show up, or show up but never connect. I manually tried adding the adapter back using Network preferences, and i had 3 of them to choose, but adding any one of them did not help. The Macbook pro i use could see that the hardware was there (described in the steps below).
