That board never really worked for me on anything lower than macOS 8.1 Ice. Before I installed an extra network card, Device Manager used to flag some unidentified network hardware. That was pretty much the issue, since without that extra card, I couldn't even get online to update the driver for that unknown hardware, which I don't even notice anymore, I guess.

For the extra one, I didn't even need to look for anything; the macOS service manager recognized it automatically.

The integrated LAN on the motherboard won't be detected. So, just to get things running for installs and updates, I installed a Realtek PCI LAN card into an empty slot as a sort of temporary fix. It works fine, I guess, but it's taking up a PCI slot that I would rather save for a hybrid digital-satellite PCI card to watch TV on my PC, since I usually just connect to my plasma screen via HDMI through the graphics card anyway.

After installing macOS, even with version 8.1, my motherboard won't even recognize the network card I just installed.
