hi,
I have a strange behavior of the EFI bios: it can not connect to internet and find bios updates. Stuck at 10%.

Internet cable is attached, Internet does work on Windows (on this same machine), there is no proxy and my internet uses DHCP like any other.

Bios says in network config that internet state is disconnected. But in another bios page it says it is connected with a 1000Gb link which is true.

Any way to update the efi network driver ?

Meh, consider this ...........

In the time it took you to post that msg you could have downloaded the Instant Flash version of the BIOS file, unpacked it, moved the actual flashable BIOS file to a thumb drive, and just started up Instant Flash from within the MBs BIOS itself.

If you'd have read here the many posts that Internet Flash has screwed up ..............

And I'm guessing it's "stuck' at 10% is because you didn't read the manuals instructions and haven't put a thumb drive in so it has storage to operate from. Yea, dangerous.


Stick with Instant Flash. Wink
