I couldn't get the NIC on my ASUS A8V-E SE motherboard (Marvell
88E8053 Gigabit LAN Controller) to work at all until I downloaded
the latest driver (sk98lin) from

http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/zip/linux/

Check out

for someone else's descriptions of his trials and tribulations.

As for getting the sound working, for me it was just a matter
of running alsamixer and turning up the volume on the appropriate
devices (as well as making sure they weren't muted).
