GA-7n400 Pro BIOS

I have a strange problem. I have a GA-700N Pro MB and was using the onboard
Network adapter for my DSL. I flashed the BIOS from F9 to F10 using
Q-Flash and everything went smoothly. However, my DSL network connection
will no longer work using the built in Network Adapter. I installed a spare
3-Com adapter and my DSL works fine with it. Any ideas as to why flashing
the BIOS would cause the onboard Network to fail and how I can fix it?
Thanks.

Your motherboards onboard NIC has lost it's MAC address. Quite a common
problem with GA7 series motherboards. Visit this forum for possible

Had same problem.
F11 Bios is now out official at Gigabyte.
NIC works fine and also dual DDR.
