When I bought my Asus P5B-E board last year, the drivers for the Attansic L1 gigabit NIC hadn't made it into the kernel and no live CD would enable it. I ended up putting a spare PCI NIC in to install Gentoo, then patching the kernel to enable the on-board one. It appeared in the next kernel release, so is not problem now, but that was less than a year ago. -- Neil Bothwick Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?
