Gigabyte z87x-OC - no network card detected in BAMT

[thesouljourner]

Anyone using this board and come up with a way to make the network card work with BAMT?  It was on sale at newegg, and with 4 PCI-E slots, figured it would be a good choice for risers... so far, not so much.

Looking for drivers lead me here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=15817&lang=eng&wapkw=i217-v
But the installation instructions reference creating an RPM, which is not too useful on the debian-based BAMT.

Any suggestions?  Anyone know how to build that driver under a debian system?

Thanks!

Same thing here. Even with the new version 1.2 of BAMT, it doesn't see the NIC.

Damn. Just bought this mobo too.

I´m going to test it soon. Will post any news.

That's a very new Intel NIC - linux drivers don't really exist for it yet.  Try a USB NIC or wifo dongle.

I found this nice post, just look for the correct driver and install it.

I have an ASRock z87 motherboard, with x5 XFX 7950 cards on 1x 16x powered risers.

On BAMT boot I get the following errors:

(process:308): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
startpar: service(s) returned failure: gdm ... failed!

Takes me to command line. I can run startx fine and get to GUI interface. 0 graphics cards are listed.

I have tried multiple different USB sticks.

If I find an answer before anyone responds, I'll be sure to post it. I'm having a hell of a time finding anyone with a similar problem that actually posted the solution!

Use windows until linux has working drivers?
