Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H dual ethernet

[Mr_Pie_Guy1234]

My motherboard comes with 2 ethernet ports, but only one of them is picked up by OSX. When I connect a cable to one of the ports it is picked up fine, but when I connect to another one nothing happens. In network preferences only one port is picked up. I don't really do anything with networking, so I'm probably missing something fairly obvious. I have hnak's intel driver installed.

I have the same board. One is the Intel (I assume the one that is working for you) and the other is Atheros on PCI-E. I am a noob, but I assume the Atheros may need a driver to work in OSX, but the Hnak option in Multi-beast I believe allows the Intel Ethernet to work.

I am curious-- are you running only OSX or dual/multi-booting as well?

I have had no problems with the Intel connection in OSX but lots of disconnecting in Windows 8, which has me wanting to switch to the other.

To help you we need more details, for example what kind of options (drivers) you chose from the multibeast, if you have followed a guide etc...

This guide seems promising: http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...7-3770k-32gb-480gb-ssd-2tb-hdd-gtx-670-a.html

I have a dual boot setup with windows 8 so I went to Device Manager and saw that there was an Atheros network device. I installed the driver in multibeast then rebooted, it got picked up just fine. Thanks for your help.

Has any one gotten the dual ether net to work as a bonded pair?
