I've had mixed experiences with the asus sk8n nforce3 motherboard, 
although it's more implementation specific quirks than issues with the 
chipset itself. The GPL'd forcedeth ethernet driver seems to work really 
well in my experience. Debian's sarge beta 3 install CD even includes 
the forcedeth driver ootb. Really nice!
