I have this board, I'm still working on migrating everything over to this system (it's going to be my new primary system on my desk). The network card works fine with the *latest* sk98lin driver from www.syskonnect.com; I had to bootstrap the system from CD, then compile the driver against the kernel, but then it worked fine. =) (I'm not sure why the sk98lin in the kernel is so old; the code from syskonnect is 100% GPL licensed.) I was planning to write up a board report on this once I tested everything out, but for now the SATA works fine in IDE mode (I'm not using RAID), the network works with said driver, sound works perfectly with the OSS and ALSA drivers (but the ALSA drivers give much better control over the card)--it's the standard via82xxx set. I haven't yet tried the onboard wireless or firewire, but USB works fine so far, and firewire was autodetected (it's a TI chip, so I don't expect trouble). -- Wesley J.
