Help with gigabyte lan drivers

Question

I got the gigabyte GA-970A-ds3p motherboard and I can not use a wired connection. Is there any lan drivers i can download for ubuntu 14.04.

Is it the onboard Ethernet port, or is it a separate card? – captainGeech Jan 02 '16 at 17:26 — captainGeech, Jan 02 '16 at 17:26

Old post but if people are looking around for help this may help. Take a look at this thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2188370 “GA-970A-DS3P revision 1 no usb 3.0”

Here is my updated fix

First enable iommu in the uefi by restarting your computer and pressing delete to enter the uefi

plug your usb mouse, keyboard and thumbdrive in usb 2 ports.

save and exit the uefi

Then In Ubuntu:

press Ctrl+Alt+T to open up a terminal

run the following command: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Only edit the empty quotes in this line to read: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft"

save changes to grub and exit gedit and the terminal

Open up a new terminal with ctrl+alt+t

run the following command: sudo update-grub

then exit the terminal using this command: exit

Restart your computer press delete to get back into the uefi

Disable iommu in bios, load optimized defaults and restart.

usb, 2.0 usb 3.0 and networking all work now in Ubuntu, and disabling iommu in bios may also help improve your boot times.
