Marvell GigE chip under SuSE 9.x

I've heard somewhere (may be here in our maillist, but I didn't find nothing in mail archive) about some problems w/Marvell Gigabit Ethernet chip on ASUS A8V mobos at work w/SuSE Linux 9.x. Sorry, is it simple my "imagination" ? It may be important for mobos choice, because Marvell chips are presenetd in a lot of mobos, in particlular in a set of Gigabyte mobos for Athlon64.
