Only USB 3.0 works
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 11:24 am
I recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 motherboard with an AMD FX-8320 and put in an old nvidia video card I had. Not sure model number of video card. I installed linux mint 14 and I have two issues. One is the NIC that comes on the motherboard does not get an IP. It shows connected or cable unplugged but doesn't seem to communicate. The next wierd thing is that this motherboard comes with 8 rear USB ports. Two of which are 3.0. During boot all ports are working. As I can plug the mouse and keyboard into any of them and get into bios which I even updated with a thumbdrive. Once linux boots up the only ports that work are the 3.0 ports. They other ports do show in the hardware list and they have power as mouse lights up on other ports, but nothing happens. Please any help will be appreciated. I have googled this and most results are of people having issues with the 3.0 ports and I have the complete opposite issue.
Thank you.
Thank you.
