When using 4.4 to install on gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2 motherboard basically an Nforce 410/430 chipset then network is not initially detect to perform a network install. It let me attempt to manually select a driver but I do not see the driver in the list.
After installing the network works and the forcedeth driver is loaded.
Is there a way to get this driver detected or manually loaded?

According to the upstream release notes ... this is supposed to be fixed on 4.4
From rom the kernel changelog and release notes:
-amd74xx: add pci ids for Nvidia MCP51 -Update 4 adds Nvidia nForce 430/MCP51 IDE support
I think the issue is with the Realtek RTL8211 Gigabit Ethernet controller that the board uses and not the nVidia chipset.
A quick solution might be to find any 10/100 NIC and see if that works instead. I looked and did not find what module to load for the RTL-8211 chip.
