Recently got Asus Z97 Deluxe and to my surprise – None of the Lan ports worked nor does 2 of the USB 3.0 Ports at the back, out of the box.
I had to install Drivers from CD for both Intel Lan ports to work.

I have never installed any drivers ever in any of my prior Mobo and all standard features worked out of the box.

Please check the below pic... what drivers now would be required so that everything here in pic works – Any idea what are those ?

Please tellme why simple things like Intel Lan ports and USB 3.0 ports aint working without installin drivers. Also, do you guys needed to install drivers with your mobo ?

PS: I don't want to install any bloatware from Asus, so please tellme specifically what are the drivers required in my case.

Your motherboard should have came with a driver CD, and yes you do need to install the drivers in order for your motherboard's ports/lan/sound to work etc. In the CD, you should be able to install things individually and install all the sound drivers, chipset, LAN, USB stuff.
