I wanted to add a second Ethernet port of my computer so i bought a mini pcie card to ethernet
I installed it, and when i boot the computer I see the post message then it goes black and boots up again and i see the post message, it just keeps doing that, a boot loop
if i take out the card, it boots fine to the OS, i looked in the bios and enabled the card, but it still does the boot loop, if i disable the card in the bios it boots to the OS, but then i cant use the second port, as it's disabled
if i enable the card in the bios, and plug a ethernet wire, the lights on the card work, but it boot loops so i cant even get into the OS,
So, it doesn't work, i dont know why, anyone have any ideas?
