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.

0000:01:04.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) using the sk98lin driver, SuSE 9.3, Asus A7N8X-E. No problems with SuSE distro kernel right up to latest 2.6.12-rc6-git8. I'd expect it to work fine on any motherboard. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
