Dealing with Gigabyte support can be a frustrating experience. They only offer support via their website. Once they reply to your enquiry which can take several days, you get a response telling you to visit their website to read the response, and you can reply. This process means it can take several weeks to get a clear and final answer.https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2008/02/10/flakey-bios-gigabyte-ga-m68sm-s2l-makes-mac-address-change-reboot/Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2008/02/10/flakey-bios-gigabyte-ga-m68sm-s2l-makes-mac-address-change-reboot/Over the weekend I have been setting my new Mythbuntu pair, a split back end and front end. Everything went pretty smoothly. One issue I did hit was the onboard NIC on the Gigabyte GA-M68SM-S2L motherboard despite what the specs say it is a “nVidia Corporation Unknown device 054c (rev a2)” which uses the forcedeth driver. Everytime I rebooted the box the NIC would increment its interface number - eth0, eth1 … eth6 and so on.
