   Sure you do. You're sending packets to USENET :-)   
      
   If your Ethernet port did not work, you would   
   just contact us and ask. Um... Well, maybe not.   
      
   The Ethernet NIC on my Asus motherboard, LM221 does   
   not have a driver for it. I use a USB3 to Ethernet (GbE)   
   adapter with an ASIX chip, as that brand seems to have   
   drivers in lots of OSes. That's how I get out of scrapes   
   with the mystery-meat Ethernet.   
      
   It's even worse, with the hardware monitor in the SuperIO.   
   *Nothing* has drivers for that :-/ (Sensors cannot read it.)   
   The only way to see a temperature or voltage reading for that hardware,   
   is in a page in the BIOS screen. Doesn't work anywhere else.
