After many years, my faithful ASUS motherboard died, so I've replaced it with a Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-HD2. t booted up fine from my existing disk set into Jessie, but networking is inoperative. The board has an on-board network interface, plus an extra PCI network board. Neither seem to be working, although they are recognised by lspci -v:
