Fortunately I found the workaround and I don't use the ethernet ports anymore anyway. The wireless works out-of-the-box on Gutsy, but there's a known bug with the driver; on rare occasions (most noticably with high CPU load + high upstream + downstream traffic) the driver stops working and you need to modprobe it out and back in again. Annoying, but I run into it rarely. Works: Wireless Ethernet ports (both of them) Firewire USB SATA CPU scaling Audio output through rear port Doesn't work: Suspend and hibernate (note: I don't have a swap partition and I'm running Nvidia, this could be the cause). Audio input - possibly a later version of ALSA would do the trick. Reported CPU temperature is way too low (18 Celcius at idle), but I believe it reports the correct temperature when under load. The new version of lm-sensors should detect it all correctly anyway once Gnome is switched over to use it. This is a good choice of motherboard for a Linux machine. Later versions of the kernel, wireless drivers, ALSA and lm-sensors (already out) will improve compatibility, I'm sure. |
