I have the exact same Mobo, and so far I have had no issues with either 
of the NICs. I have used Fedora 10 and 11 with this board. However I 
have not checked the BIOS version with dmidecode. I have done several 
BIOS upgrades since I bought the board. Gigabyte provides binary updates 
which you can use from a USB drive. Maybe you can try that?

Sorry I can't help any more as I am 15 hrs away from my system and I 
won't be back before next week. Hopefully this was of some help.
