I got the same kernel from backports and the network chip started to

Haven't had time to check the audio yet. I think it's also Realtek

I got the connector from ebay. It was a nice surprise that the board
actually had that, since I thought I would have to get a pci card with
serial ports.

All the necessary requirements in testing yet?

really quiet machine.
