I bought this one two weeks ago. The gigaethernet port works well and
I'm using it at 10 Mbps half duplex with the sk98 driver. It has a built
in cable tester, but it's not supported by linux. The sound card works
too, but I had to transplant in my kernel an updated driver from ALSA
CVS. This is annoying because ALSA CVS cannot easily be compiled
standalone for a 2.6. kernel.
There are a few problems (currently being debugged) with the IDE adapter
if you do not use the APIC, be sure to enable it when building the
kernel. I have no SATA hardware, but I remember reading that the
controller is supported.
...so there's at least one board where stuff works with some tweaking.
If you go to the iu.edu URL above and scan the other messages in the
thread, you'll see a few other boards mentioned. Seems like the USB
support on these things was a problem back in November, maybe it's been
fixed (along with the ALSA problem.) HTH,
