Could be the reviewer you refer to had problems, I was able to install the LAN driver via USB from the BIOS:
Easy Driver Installer
For users that don’t have an optical disk drive to install the drivers from our support CD, Easy Driver Installer is a handy tool in the UEFI that installs the LAN driver to your system via an USB storage device, then downloads and installs the other required drivers automatically through the internet. Completely no CD or optical disk drive required!
I am not trying to defend the ASRock board, just saying it does a good job.........If I had been buying the components for my own build I would have went with an upper-end board from ASUS.......
