Strange Networking Issue with Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H

[ajaffarali]

I have built a system with the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard and Zotac GTX670 graphics card. One of the reason's I chose this motherboard was because of it's dual Gigabit NIC support as I was earlier using a Mac Pro 1,1 with Drobo Pro.

On this motherboard, networking works just fine after Unibeast installation. However, when I run Multibeast to make the disk bootable, I also select Audio drivers and set GraphicsEnabler=No as suggested for my graphics cards. Following that, I reboot and my network can no longer connect. I can still see the two Network cards in System Profile and the lights flash on the connector itself but OS X doesn't detect any connectivity. I have managed to get one of them working again through the Multibeast Networking driver installation of Apple/Intel card but the second one is still inactive.

Like I said, I really need dual NICs which was the reason for this motherboard but how do I get them to work? Also why is installing Multibeast (without networking drivers) screwing up the NICs when they were working prior to installation.

Install "maolj's AntherosL1cEthernet" and the second Ethernet port should work now.

I too have this problem. I have not been able to connect to the network since I installed multibeast. I installed maolj's Atheros1cEthernet - the Ethernet socket near the PSU lights up, no connection. I had network OK when in iBoot.

I have tried the other three options in Network (after 3 installs) still no joy but I have sound!

Anything else I can try?

thanks

I have the same MB and CPU. It's been a few months since I installed Mountain Lion. I can't remember I did anything special. In advance I made sure I was using the latest BIOS (F14) and configured the BIOS properly. I only use the Intel NIC, since I don't need the other NIC. I used Multibeast 5.0.2 and chose kext 'hnak's AppleIntelE1000e Ethernet'. The Intel NIC works without problems.

Hope this helps.
