Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining vBASIC || Community Edition 2.0
It's very unusual for network card not to be recognized by nvoc. Not impossible, but unusual.
Since you have extensive Windows experience, have you tried installing Windows on that motherboard to confirm it is not a hardware failure?
If your network card works well under Windows we can rule out defective hardware and try to troubleshoot further.
What are you trying to mine? If you are planning on mining an Ethash coin; If you are having trouble with the community edition: I recommend trying vBasic as that motherboard should be supported by it.
The Community Release edition was based and built upon nvoc 19-1.4 which is built on top of Ubuntu 16.04. If I understand correctly the vBASIC version is also built on top of Ubuntu 16.04. This should not be specific problem tied to the Community Release and if in fact it is related to base Ubuntu 16.04 than it will affect both, the Community Release and vBASIC release. It seems like his motherboard is defective.

I have not tried installing Windows. But even if I interrupt the boot sequence and look at the System Information, the MAC address for the LAN controller (which is onboard to the motherboard) is blank. It's like the motherboard doesn't see it. And if I try to plug a USB WiFi adapter in after boot-up, it's dead too. No activity at all. Yet if I plug a USB data stick in to the same USB port, it opens up and lets me browse the stick. Regardless of the OS, wouldn't the fact that the BIOS interrupt and review of system info not showing an active LAN controller indicate it is an issue prior to the OS?
You pretty much answered your question. It seems something is wrong with your motherboard. Have you had the same problem before flashing the new bios? Try downgrading the bios, the latest one might be buggy. If it doesn't help then return or RMA the board while you still have warranty.

Try this and get back with the output:

There seems to be a issue with the hardware if the lspci and lshw are returning naught...
Being a Gigabyte mobo, known for their hairy implementations of the Realtek to ICH bridging, it might help also to update your BIOS:
https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/462/images/BIOS-Z270P-D3.zip
NOTE: Please check the HW revision of your mobo before trying to update. This is a "mining" optimised BIOS
I've seen something similar a while back with a rev. 1 board, similar to yours, that was running out of lanes for peripherals and the loading of the PHY drivers for ethernet and usb were loaded erratically at times.
I have two other of the brand new mobo's. Maybe best next step is to start over with a new mobo to see if I can either get it to work or, at a minimum, identify where it is in the process I'm using that the LAN controller becomes unrecognized?
Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining vBASIC || Community Edition 2.0
Am a newbie to mining and setting up my first rig. Have an extensive Windows background. Have zero Linux background (except for the immersion course I'm in the middle of trying to get nvOC v2.0 set up and running 
).
I got nvOC up and running but my issue is, somewhere along the way, the LAN controller ceased being recognized.
My setup:
I'm initially working to get one card set up and running. It is plugged into a riser that is connected to the primary PCI slot on the mobo, both of which (riser and card) are powered by the EVGA PSU (once I get one card running I'll work up to all six cards and then power the risers solely with the EVGA and the cards with the Bitmain). I have the most current BIOS for the mobo installed, 1bash is configured to mine SMART and I can boot & have the miner software functioning. But my current issue is that the LAN controller is not visible to the OS.
I've had fits and starts thru this process, re-imaging the USB probably 4 or 5 times, for various things I hadn't done correctly (e.g., hadn't updated the BIOS before booting, had plugged my monitor into the mobo HDMI instead of the cards's HDMI and dealt with Xorg issues, etc.). I know that at one point, the LAN controller was working (green light flashing on controller, which BTW, is a Realtek® GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit))-- I'm just not sure when it quit working to be able to exactly determine what I might have changed that caused the issue.
Diagnostics & Steps I've Taken To Address
I guess the issue could be a fried controller, but this is a brand new mobo. The only other thing I did differently at one point was change the mouse I was using from a USB mouse to an older wireless mouse where the wireless receiver plugs into the light green mouse port on the back of the mobo instead of being a USB mouse. But I've re-imaged, reset CMOS, etc. since then and even went without using a mouse on a couple of attempts to see if that had caused some issue.
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any assistance and guidance the Community might have to offer.
Thank you!

Initially trying to mine SMART. When you say vBasic, is that v19? --DISREGARD fullzero, I saw your post a few back from this and know what you are referring to. I truly don't think it is the OS (or, if it is, the "trying a different OS ship" has already sailed as I've royally screwed enough stuff up along the way...a total fresh start from scratch is likely the only fix), but I will certainly give the vBASIC a try. Thank you. --

R u running the command using the guake terminal ?
Come over to discord and lets work it out over there.
Yes, I'm using Guake! terminal.Come over to discord and lets work it out over there.
And to your question about running lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 eth, that returns nothing; it just returns to a command prompt and sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces yields:
