I finally received a reply from the board manufacture who said to boot from bios for the lan... it worked. The load is up and running. Now on to my next level of troubleshooting.

Thanks,

I’m having the same difficulty only with a Gigabyte board. Looks like the ACID CD does not have the correct driver for the NIC. After the reboot, it tells me the cable is not connected, yet the lights at both ends of the connectors are working. (Sigh!)

Linux newbie as well,

I've seen this with several computers that I have installed the software (ACID - XIPAR) on.  What I do is take a NIC card and temporarily install it while loading the box.  It seems that the installs always see the add-on NIC and gets past the install.  Then you simply remove the added NIC and go forward.

YMMV
