Drivers for ethernet chip on the Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard.

[Lisi <lisi.reisz@gmail.com>]

My on-board ethernet chip is not working in Debian Squeeze.  I have installed 
a PCI card that is working, but I would like to have the (better) on board 
chip working.

I have used it from the Linux Format remastered Ubuntu 12.04 live CD, so there 
is  obviously a Linux driver for it.

I have Googled and found only references to how well it works in Linux.  I 
also found references to its being free and in the kernel.  I cannot find a 
driver.

I have installed 3.2.0 from Squeeze Backports without success.  (That is to 
say, the upgraded kernel has not helped the situation.  It installed without 
a hitch.)  I have done a cold reboot.

The video works without any problems and I have not so far done anything about 
the complaints that both Amarok and Kaffeine make about the lack of driver 
for sound, since I have not yet trouble-shot alsa.  For me, sound is a 
pleasant addition, not a necessary adjunct.

I must be missing something very simple, possibly in my Google-foo.  At 
anyrate, PEBKAC probably looms large.

Any suggestions as to what else I could try?

Thank you.
