Hi Lee and group,
So did you ever get your new system?
I can see you're not a big fan of NVidia, but I thought I'd play a
little devil's advocate here.
I put together a new AMD X2 system a few weeks ago with a Tyan
motherboard, NVidia CK804 (nforce4) chipset,
00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet
Controller
(rev a3)
[ drivers/net/forcedeth.c ]
I don't want to buy a board where the 100MBit Ethernet controller
requires a reverse engineered driver that's marked EXPERIMENTAL in the
kernel config, and the 1000Mbit controller requires a binary only
driver...
