I've yet to try. I installed my asus a7n8x deluxe board on tuesday. The onboard 3Com network card works properly on mine. But any PCI network card (I've tried 2, from different brands) I use ends up using IRQ 16. I then disabled APIC mode in the BIOS, which would let me use the PCI cards properly, but now only 900 or so Mb of the 1.5Gb RAM is seen by Linux (there is a warning about this in dmesg). Also, my usb mouse is not seen. I've also tried to compile the nvnet module, but it fails. The license is probably incompatible for mdk to add it to their kernels... Oh yeah, this was all based on the 2.4.21.0.pre4.5mdk kernel. Do you think that I can enable the APIC mode with 2.4.21.0.pre4.6mdk?
