Default Re: Ethernet problem

the proper term is "smbus controller". Read the info here: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-013541.htm

A flagged controller means it's not working. If you don't need your network controller, disregard the error message. If you do need the device, then you need to correct the problem by installing the proper driver.
