Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H Network Drivers Ubuntu Server
Recently after purchasing this motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H) I encountered issues on having no network drivers. After finding various articles about it I found the following worked as a resolution:
Download Ubuntu Server 13.04 64bit
Boot your computer to the BIOS: Make sure you have Enabled “Network Stack” this should activate your network connection before booting into any operating system.
I believe enabling the Network Stack should let any version of Ubuntu Server install and detect your network but 13.04 64bit is the only one tested so far.
Please note the “Network Stack” is located in the “BIOS Features” part of the BIOS and will be an option at the very bottom.
