Acer G43T-AM3 notes
Contents
This is similar to Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L but uses an Intel NIC rather than Realtek. Some problems with Linux on this NIC, on this board, with Libreboot, were observed; see notabug issue 125
A SuperUser page has some guidance on how to either correct the checksum (in GbE config) or skip checksum validation in Linux, to get the onboard NIC working. Although it’s talking about different hardware, the steps should be the same.
