Got a PCI NIC for GA-G31M-E2SL (Dynex DX-PCIGB at bestbuy for $22) it has Realtek8169 chip on it. It has built in support under IONetworkingFamily.kext under Plugins and RTL8169 DeviceID 10EC8169. So after a bit of digging around and trial error finally found that need to edit DSDT.

The one with original post will create issues with any PCI NIC as it has GIGE defined in PCI Express Slot 1. My actually card for this board comes up on Hub0@1E (bottom PCI Slot) top is slot 0 (have DGE-530T in there that could not get to work). Can find this out with IORegistry Explorer Utility (have attached).

So decompiled the ASL from Original Post to DSL file. Then editted. Had to remove the GIGE and then all GP9 Ref's with Text. After did this was able to check with bootable USB and finally with 64 Bit Kernel.

Now have pretty much vanilla install (from what I understand) with Rev 2.0 Board. I have attached all relevant info and DSDT files (compiled/uncompiled) and some reference material used FYI.
