This is similar to Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L but uses an Intel NIC rather than Realtek. Some problems with GNU+Linux on this NIC, on this board, with Canoeboot, were observed; see (NOTE: Libreboot issue tracker, not Canoeboot):

https://notabug.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/125

That page (on notabug) has some notes about workarounds. It links to this:

https://superuser.com/questions/1104537/how-to-repair-the-checksum-of-the-non-volatile-memory-nvm-of-intel-ethernet-co/1106641#1106641

This page has some guidance on how to either correct the checksum (in GbE config) or skip checksum validation in GNU+Linux, to get the onboard NIC working. Although it’s talking about different hardware, the steps should be the same.

TODO: factory BIOS on this board works fine with the onboard NIC. study what that is doing
