Hi I'm using this mobo with linux just fine. the network chipset works with the syskonnect driver...depending on the kernel version you may have to update it with the patch from http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk98lin.htm to support the card though...
with the sata drivers you seem to have 2 options for debian: one hack for the default ide driver and a patch for libata to support it through scsi emulation (this seems to be better ...it is included in 2.6.0-test9 so it seems to be better for the future) patch for 2.4: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/8/29/105 both seem to work from report from others..and they load fine, but I don't have SATA drives to test with...but be aware: no raid...only linux software raid... USB(also USB2) works fine agpgart works fine (I only can test agp 4x since I only own a GF4 and with linux 2.4 agp 8x is not supported anyway from what I gather).... I have not tested sound since I use a SB Audigy... One last thing: the ide controller is supported after 2.4.21 I think...before it is only pio mode... I hope I have not forgot anything usefull... yours, Albert Dengg On Sun, 9 Nov 2003 16:37:29 +1000 Alan Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have ordered this motherboard, with 3c940 Gigabit ethernet (with a > "Linux" driver on the ASUS website(?!)); and AD1850 "AC'97" etc.) > sound.
