I cannot get the network running on this motherboard. From the documentation it is an couple of Intel I210 gigabit ethernet drivers. I find the same info in lspci just there is is also that they are "rev (03)".

From what I found on the net they should use the Intel e1000 driver. So I have in my kernel
Code:

Device drivers -> Network device support -> Ethernet driver support
[*] Intel devices
  [*] Intel (R) PRO/100+ support
  [*] Intel (R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support
  [*] Intel (R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support
    [*] Support HW cross-timestamp on PCH devices


When I used the minimal CD to install the interfaces were listed as "eno1" and "eno2" and I made the net.eno1 and net.eno2 links. Dhcpcd is in rc default.

When I now do an ifconfig the only interface listed is "lo".

EDIT: "dmesg | grep Intel" gives
Code:

e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network driver
e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation
e1000: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network driver
e1000: Copyright(c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation
e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network driver
e1000e: Copyright(c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation

take a look at this option:
Code:

 [*]   Intel devices                                                                                                                                 │ │ 
  │ │                                                                             <M>     Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support                                                                                   │ │ 
  │ │                                                                             [*]       Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit adapters HWMON support

aka intel igb module, works for my i211
