    Hello,

    I just bought an Asus K8S-MX with an Athlon64 CPU to build a small home
    server. I installed Suse 9.2 x86_64 with no problem (on an PATA disk)
    but unluckly the onboard LAN card (based on SIS 191/190 MAC + Realtek
    RTL82011CL 10/100 chipset) - although recognized - is not working. I
    googled around but I was not able to find any solution to make it
    work... it seems that both the onboard LAN and the onboard SATA
    controller are still not entirely supported.
    I posted in Suse/novell support groups with no luck...

    For this reason I decided to buy a PCI gigabit adapter: do you have any
    suggestion on one that works fine with x86_64?

    On line I found a D-link DGE-530T, a Netgear GA311IS, a Hamlet HNNG64TX
    in a price range of 25-30 euro. Are they any good?

    Thanks a lot & regards,
    Blackdir
