Having problems getting both ethernet ports to register properly using DSDT. It seems very straight forward since each port sits at a different location however I can't get them to register properly, see ioreg. Anyone see what I may be missing?

It is a question or solution?

Here is my solution for a GA-EP45-UD3P

CODE
