I have an old A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. I am trying to set up a server on it however i can not get the second lan port to show up. I installed the controller driver and only one appears.

I haven't finished installing the other mobo drivers but they are unrelated to the lan (sound raid and chipset drivers). I suppose though that the chip set drivers might do it but i am doubt it...

Its a marvell yukon dual Gbit.

Any suggestions?

Ensure it's enabled in BIOS?

Think the other port is nvidia which is installed by default, the other port is a gigabit by Marvel which the drivers are on the mobo disk, the Marvel drivers need to be installed after reboot

exactly what it is. Many mobos have dual chipsets for different components, for example on one of my mobos IDE and 2 sata ports are by gigabyte chipset, and 6 other sata by Intel one
