The page I was referred to contains the BIOS images for revision 1.0 of this motherboard. The actual motherboard is rev 4.0. As far as I can tell the BIOS does not contain the revision information for the motherboard. The only way of getting the revision number was to examine the revision number printed on the motherboard.
The most current version of the this BIOS for rev 4.0 of this motherboard is is F3, the version being run was F3i (released on 10/07/2014). I upgraded the BIOS to F3 from F3i. The graphical login is visible, but Ubuntu no longer recognizes any of the USB ports nor does it recognize the NIC. This happens even when I boot to kernel version 3.13.0-57. As I'm not able to get the keyboard to work I can't login. I can't ssh in because the NIC does not work. I will try and revert to the previous BIOS version. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1479630 Title: r8169 appears to have stopped working between 3.13.0-57 and 3.13.0-58 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm not able to send or receive any data on this wired connection.
