Has anyone else had issues with the LAN port on this board? It disappeared on me between reboots and after a windows reinstall it still hasn't come back (no networking device seen though there is one 'unknown device').

I've reset the CMOS so it can't be turned off in the BIOS, the only other thing i can think of is a jumper on the board itself but it doesn't seem likely. I'm trying to track down the proper driver for it right now (abit.com is totally down with the exception of the ftp site, ace) but pretty sure it's in the intel chipset driver package which is installed.

Worried it's just up and died on me, board is excellent bar this issue and i'm going to hate to have to RMA it if i can't sort it out :-(
 
In case anyone else has this prob it's easily solved. I've seen a few people around the net with it now and like i found out last night a power off at the PSU for a minute will sort it out.

My audio controller went too and others have had the firewire port go, the power off seems to solve it all. Looks like something to do with the reset board health checks going wrong, could just affect beta bios 6 (latest).
