Hello,
The i219 is a completely different (and much older) chip; the right driver for
the i211 is definitely igb.
That said, I think the OP should first make sure the onboard LAN is enabled in the BIOS
and then post the output of "lspci -tv".

Nope. Just this night's response to Wol.

But while this will allow you to access your data, you will still have a broken
disk until you fix the MBR.
andrea
the disk is only 1TB, there is no reason to use GPT at all, so your best
bet is to use fdisk to make that a standard MBR by changing the partition type
from 'ee' to '83'.

D. I'm
somewhat familiar with AND/NAND gates so I think those are different
from flash.
"NAND flash" (as opposed to "NOR flash") refers to the way memory cells
are organized and connected. See for example

AFAIK all SSDs use some variant of NAND flash.

Thanks Andrea. I had though that the MBR was automatically mapped to
the the first 4 gpt partitions because that's they way it's always been
on my system. So now I wonder how it's been set that way, because I
know i've never touched gpt-fdisk and I didn't use bootcamp. Maybe the
refit
partition(s). The only exception is if you want read-only access to an
HFS+ partition in Windows through the driver provided by BootCamp; in
that case you need to ensure that the first entry in the hybrid MBR
covers the HFS+ partition you want to access.

you can load a kernel with GPT support, and from there it's just a
