Gigabyte GA-X99-Designare EX Ethernet Port (I211V) Doesn't Work

[michaiel]

I have 10.12.2 installed on my Designare EX and while the the ethernet port closest to the PCI slots (I211V) is working natively the ethernet port furthest from the PCI slots (I218V) is NOT working.
I have searched the internet and this forum for several days and have not found a solution for this.
Has anybody been able to solve this or even recommend a PCI ethernet card that is compatible?
thanks

On my last build using an Intel mobo it showed up and worked with the Multibeast intel kext everyone was using...

Thanks for stepping in to help...I will do this tonight when I can get in front of the computer again.
I understand everything you are asking for except...

There is a link provided. Follow it. You will see an attachment.
Terminal can be run from Finder->Go->Utilities.

Sorry I know what Terminal is...I just did not understand how the ioreg and the "Attach output of" is related.

Not related. Separate tasks.
