It might be that nobody here is using that motherboard.
When researching a motherboard to determine linux compatability, I
always find a list of compoents and use "make menuconfig" or google to
see if each component's chipset is supported (when I don't know
already). Searching google for "k8-ns pro" reveals this page:

I'll answer the ones I know for you; I'm sure you can dig up the rest if
someone else doesn't have firsthand experience.

I've been using an nforce3 250 board since December without a hitch.

lm_sensors supports this. Works fine for me.

I'm pretty sure this is supported in recent kernels.

I don't know.

If this uses the PCILynx chip then it's supported.

The sk98lin driver supports this.

Recent versions of alsa should support this too.
