Just checked it today morning - it cannot start Ethernet adapter after
last reboot...
It lists it in POST message, but
1) don't start PXE firmware
2) can't see it with pre-installed Windows (It show unknown Ethernet,
with vendor 10ec dev 8129 subsys 812911ec revision 01). It's PCI express
network card, according to POST message.
3) link is active

I have two more noteboks (same model),  but don't want to kill their
Ethernet adapters.

Yuriy.
