Checked out some of the driver files in the system and saw some strange things in them, one file did mention that 1000mbps was selectable with a parameter #9 for 1000mbps, while a other part file of the driver shows only selections till 100mbps.

It's always recommended that you use a Gigabyte-brand motherboard when building a Hackintosh. Compatibility-wise, they're always the easiest to work with. However, not everybody has the opportunity to use a Gigabyte motherboard. If your computer uses an ASUS motherboard, you can still turn it into a Hackintosh. There are just a few extra steps that you'll have to perform.M2n Mx Se Plus Drivers
LATEST UPDATE (August 28, 2015): Updated section on UEFIPatch. The newest ASUS motherboards (with the Z97 and H97 chipsets) now support OS X power management by default, so this guide is usually no longer necessary.BIOS or UEFI?
Right now, there are two different types of motherboards on the market: the ones that use BIOS, and the ones that use UEFI. These are interfaces for managing motherboard settings. The procedure for installing Mac OS X depends on whether your motherboard uses BIOS or UEFI. All new ASUS motherboards use UEFI. Right now, this guide only covers the installation process for these new UEFI motherboards.
To check whether your ASUS motherboard uses BIOS or UEFI, press the delete key when your computer boots. You will enter the settings for the motherboard. If the settings screen has few colors and requires you to use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate, it's BIOS. If the screen is colorful and allows you to use your mouse cursor to navigate, it's UEFI.
For ASUS motherboards that use UEFI
Unlike old motherboards that use BIOS, motherboards that use UEFI don't need a DSDT file to work with Mac OS X anymore. In fact, if you own a Gigabyte motherboard with UEFI, sleep mode and CPU power management in Mac OS X work by default.
However, ASUS motherboards handle CPU power management differently from Gigabyte motherboards. By default, the CPU power management system in Mac OS X won't work with the system built into ASUS motherboards. Sleep mode doesn't work normally, either. This problem can be fixed, though. All you need to do is install a patched ('unlocked') version of the UEFI.
NOTE: For the purposes of the tutorials, I will be referring to the patched UEFI as a 'BIOS file' for the remainder of the section. I apologize in advance for any conclusion over the unclear wording.
Step 1: Patch the BIOS
Download an unmodified copy of your motherboard's BIOS from the website of the manufacturer. BIOS files are usually available for download on the specifications pages for individual motherboard models, under the 'Support' section.
The BIOS file will usually be either a '.ROM' or '.xx' file, although it depends based on the manufacturer. If you don't know the specific model of your Hackintosh's motherboard, you can use a tool like CPU-Z to find out.
Next, download UEFIPatch (available on both Windows and Mac). Make sure you download the right file-- get UEFIPatch, not UEFIExtract or UEFITool.
DOWNLOAD: UEFIPatch
UEFIPatch will allow you to automatically patch your downloaded BIOS file in a matter of minutes. The tool will come in a ZIP file; double-click the ZIP file to extract the folder from inside.
Next, drag your downloaded BIOS file into your newly-created UEFIPatch folder.
Then, double-click the UEFIPatch file. This will start a Terminal/Command Line program, which will automatically patch the BIOS file. Now you're done!
Step 2: Install the patched BIOS
Get a USB drive and reformat it to use the FAT32 (or just FAT) file system. You can do this through Disk Utility on Mac OS X, which can be found in Applications->Utilities.
Once the USB drive has been reformatted to use the FAT32 file system, copy the patched BIOS file into the base of the USB drive.

Now, you can install the patched BIOS file on your motherboard. Many of the normal ways to install a BIOS file on an ASUS motherboard do not work with patched files. Instead, you have to use 'ASUS USB BIOS Flashback', a feature included on most 'Z77' ASUS motherboards that use UEFI. This feature allows you to install a BIOS file directly through the motherboard itself.Simply plug the USB drive into the white USB port in the back of the motherboard, and then press the 'BIOS' button next to that USB port. The button will then start to flash. Once the button stops flashing, your motherboard will have the new BIOS installed.
NOTE: Some ASUS motherboards, including 'H77' and 'B75' models, do not include the USB BIOS Flashback feature. If this is the case, you will have to install the patched BIOS with the FTK tool instead.
Step 3: Install Mac OS X
Install Mac OS X on your computer. For details, check out our website's Mac OS X installation section.
Boot into Mac OS X. Keep your Unibeast boot USB drive plugged in. At the boot screen, you'll see an icon for the hard drive where you installed Mountain Lion. Select it (use the arrow keys on your computer) and press 'Enter'.
Download Multibeast from tonymacx86. Then, install UserDSDT-- no actual DSDT file required! The patched BIOS takes care of everything.
Conclusion
And that's all there is to it! Your Hackintosh will now be able to boot normally, without the help of your Unibeast boot USB drive. After installing UserDSDT or Easybeast, you still have to enable audio and ethernet separately with Multibeast. Check out our guide to Multibeast for more information.
Today I replace my FastEthernet switch with a newly bought gigabit switch (DGS-1008A). All computers in my house are displaying that the connection speed is 1 Gbps except for one.
The computer that is not working is an ASUS M2N-MX which contain an onboard gigabit NIC. See ASUS link for confirmation http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2/M2NMX/
Here are some info of the machine
- OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit
- BIOS version: 1004 (latest)
- Driver: installed via Windows update (latest from Windows update)
- Windows Update: fully updated
- The machine is reformatted 3 days ago, so it's pretty clean, no junk, no virus, etcCable: Amp CAT5E 5 meters
In device manager, the name of the NIC is 'NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet'
What I have try:
- I did try to install the driver provided in ASUS website, but there isn't any for Windows 7 64 or Vista 64.
- I did try to install the latest nForce340/6100, downloaded from Nvidia website. However, the LAN driver refuse to install, it complain that I already have the best driver installed.
- I looking in the property --> advance tab --> Speed/duplex settings, in an attempt to force it to run at 1000Mbps, but there is no 1000Mbps choice, only 10 and 100Mpbs.
- I change the CAT5E cable (use one from another computer that is running gigabit without problem)

Anyone have this issue or know how to solve it?

I have that problem too, been busy a whole long night finding a driver for server 2003 x64 for this motherboard nic.
I don't know anymore which driver I took but suddenly it worked, but with exception the 1gbit speed isn't selectable.
Checked out some of the driver files in the system and saw some strange things in them,one file did mention that 1000mbps was selectable with a parameter #9 for 1000mbps , while a other part file of the driver shows only selections till 100mbps ...
I really think there are bugs in this drivers, i did try to find out things in the windows registry but couldn't localize the right lines, prob if you can find it you maybe can modify some registry lines to make 1000mbps selectable in the network menu.
I give up till now, will try to find a pci network card like an intel one for the best driver support.
If you only see 10/100 under duplex, it is possible that the driver is incorrect or the device is damaged... or, there is something else to blame... (Wrong motherboard/wrong chip on board etc.)
The duplex and settings screen is not linked to the current infrastructure - you should be able to select 1000Mb even on a 100meg network... It wouldn't work, but you should still be able to select it.
update -- just double checked to confirm.

You state that you tried the latest nForce 340... Your motherboard is nForce430 - try the download from this link - http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/nforce_vista_win7_32bit_15.49_uk.html
