GA-Z87-D3HP F4 bios Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V issues

[koogar]

After updating to BIOS F4  issues started with the Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V driver (Fresh WIN 7 64 install)

...

F4 Bios

PCI Simple Communications Controller (attention mark in device manager)

Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V driver fails (attention mark in device manager) + no network connection found


On re-installing the driver, the network will work, but PCI Simple Communications Controller still shows as a attention mark in device manager

The driver will fail on the next reboot (rinse and repeat)

Reverting back to F2  Solves the issue ( I backed up my F2 bios prior the upgrade or should i say downgrade   )

I can upload the org F2 bios if anyone needs it? or i may report the issue on my blog www.Runawaybrainz.blogspot.com and make it available since Gigabyte don't provide the old bios!

I have to say I am rather disappointed with Gigabyte at the moment after wasting a full day on this basic network stuff

This is my 10th Gigabyte product!


Thanks

I re flashed the bios within the bios, and this cured the problem another reason not to flash bios within windows using a utility

Thanks
