I just recently bought the Gigabyte M61P-s3 motherboard. I have an x2 AMD processor running on it. I installed opensuse 10.2 on it and found out it will not recognize the ethernet Realtek RTL 8211 and Realtek ALC883 Codec chip (audio). Has anyone found a way to get them to work? or will I have to buy a LAN card and audio card for this computer as the simplest solution?
Are you sure about the mobo, I have Gigabyte M61P-S3 but the network/audio is MCP61, not realtek. In my case I had network issues, it seems that the driver/card disagree on the mac address order (fixed in latest upstream version of forcedeth) and then the driver takes a random ip throwing of suse network management. I had to modify the startup scripts and udev rules to set a fixed mac address (the correct one) to get it to work properly.
Did also find out that Gigabyte does support AM2 cpu but not virtualization so it doesn't work for what I was planning on using it to (unless I hack the bios my self). That act (and lack of response from support) put gigabyte on my blacklist.
