LAN Driver (Gigabyte mz73-lm0) - Windows 11

LingoInv · May 12

Hi All,

I finally got my dual CPU workstation to boot, work and is overall working well, except for the LAN port. I plugged in my ethernet, and it lights up and shows IP address when I boot up the computer. However, when I am in Windows 11 Pro N Workstation, it doesnt register as providing internet... I have found a few drivers for Windows Server 2019/2022 that I cant get to install on this flavor of Windows... Are there any drivers or work arounds I can do? I have been doing a USB tether from my phone to do all the updates.

Setup is:

Mother Board - Gigabyte mz73-lm0

CPU - Dual AMD EPYC 9334s

Ram - 4x64gb SuperMicro MEM-DR564MC-ER48

Power Supply - EVGA Supernova 1000 G7, 80 Plus Gold 1000W

SSD - SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO 2TB, PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280

DAS - 2x Seagate IronWolf 12TB + 1 TB SSD Samsung

Case - CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW

Try different driver packages for your Broadcom NIC. You might also be able to extract the driver files to a folder, then install them through Device Management instead of running their own installer. I can't think of a reason why Server 2019 / 2022 drivers shouldn't work on Windows 10 or 11.

7zip and WinRAR can usually do it, but the Dell driver package should also extract everything to a folder before running the installer.

Gotcha, I was able to successfully load that driver, but I still dont have the port showing up on my device list and can only tether... is there a setting or a something I need to enable? The physical LAN port is green and yellow showing blinking activity. All those WAN miniports only populated after I tethered.
