Abit AX8 / IC Plus 1000 series Ethernet



Has anyone played around with the Abit AX8 motherboard in Linux? This and I believe some other recent Athlon64 boards feature a pci (express?) ethernet controller "IC Plus IP1000 Family".

http://www.icplus.com.tw/driver-pp-IP1000A.html has some drivers, but they seem to be just enough outdated not to understand this model. Compiles and loads, but doesn't find a nic.

Some googling and poking around suggest that the D-Link DGE-560T PCI Express NIC may have the same chip. However, D-Link doesn't even have Windows drivers on their site for this model.

The PCI ID database ( http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=13f0 ) as well as other sources have a reference to http://www.sundanceti.com/ - however, this site has been down for at least two days.

Kernels up to 2.6.12-rc2 don't seem to have a driver available.
