Chosen Solution

Hello everyone, I have a motherboard MI970 which has two ethernet port, one Intel 82579LM and one 82583V. The 82583V port was connected to a raspberry Pi. I have noticed that the connection was disconnected and a yellow LED on it is steady on, it doesn’t matter if a cable is connected or not. After I have noticed this issue, I have checked the device manager and the driver under Network Adapter was with a yellow exclamation mark, so I have tried to unistall and reinstall it but disappeared totally. I have checked under hidden devices, and wasn’t there. Also, I have tried restart the system and turned it off for a while. Nothing changed. Since the system is on the LED of the port is ON and is not working. Also, I have tried to install the driver manually but it didn’t allow me to install.   Is there any solution for this issue? Also, if I cannot use the port and is knocked, can the motherboard be used? I meant it cannot cause any more issues on other parts?   I would appreciate if you could give me some advice. Thanks in advance, Milad

Hi @miladb , Is the 82579LM LAN port working OK? If not check that the PCH Lan Controller setting in BIOS is set to enabled (see p.41) If the 82579LM LAN port is OK it may be a motherboard problem as the 82583V LAN controller is not being detected by the OS.
