When I install this drive, I don't want to have to futs with it too much. I've got a similar motherboard so I shouldn't have to. I've configured the nic manually for the install, as you said. But I HAVE to fix this before I can deliver the drive. I also tried the -B option. The -t shouldn't be needed, but I'll try it. It worked before without any special concern.
