Default Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L (rev. 1.0) onboard LAN just doesn't work?

I read reviews on Newegg that had the same problem with the
dysfunctional onboard LAN on Gigabyte's GA-EP45-UD3L (rev. 1.0). That
is what they are selling with a rebate (apparently also problematic).
Should I try harder or just go with an add-in card?

Thanks.

I had trouble with my Gigabyte board. I think it's a UD3P?
Apparently the onboard LANs had no MAC addresses after I flashed it. This
thread helped me:

'Just had to do the DMI thing. I was able to do it from the BIOS setup screen F8.
I unticked the "keep DMI Data" checkbox, hit escape, then enter, as I recall.

They mention checking to see if there is a MAC address (main BIOS
page, press F9). I have one, so I double checked to see if the LAN
drivers were installed...

If you want to know if the lan hardware is functional, run the
diagnostic program available from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5 &Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false.

Mine is too dam slow. When downloading from one pc to another memory
usage is 95%
