Hey guys.
I just bought the motherboard yesterday, and everything's been great so far, except for the ethernet port. The lights come on, and the port is recognized in the BIOS (as far as I can tell), but I'm not connecting to the internet. I heard that the new MSI motherboard's ethernet ports don't work well with 8.1, but i don't know if there was a way around it.

 
Solution
Check their web site for updated BIOS and/or drivers, they had numerous problems w/ their wifi on board adapters also on a number of mobos.... :(
