I didn't check to see if the Linux driver is available there, but it might be.
Addendum: Not there :-/ I like your first option... finding another all-in-one board that is already directly picked up during installation and supported by SUSE 'out of the box.' OTOH, if Mandriva supports that board, it may be possible to track down the module and/or it's installer and adapt it to SUSE. Good luck! Carl
