I have a Gigabyte z68xp-UD3 motherboard. For some reason, my LAN controller/port is not detected by Windows 7, or Windows 8. I seem to remember it working in the past. I'm currently using a Rosewill wireless card to connect to the internet.
I have installed the latest Realtek driver, which I downloaded from Gigabyte's site. It fails at the end of the install, with an error:
I suspect this is a hardware issue, because exactly the same thing happens in Windows 8. Haven't tried it in Linux yet.
Is there any way to diagnose this as a hardware issue? I want to be absolutely sure before I send it for replacement/repair.
Ideas? Please help, along with this other issue;

I'm finding it very hard to connect to the internet!

If Deep Sleep mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable.
