network card on AMD64 installation

[Xiaozheng Ma]

Dear All,

I  am installing AMD64 to my new computer, which has Abit ax8 motherboard.  The installer could not find network device (or configed my network) with auto-detect DHCP option.  After I manually set the network ip etc, It still couldn't work.  The ax8 has an integrated network card (i believe it is Gigabit LAN)

By default, the installer also has problem recognizing my PCI-Express video card. but this is a less conncern to me.

Has anyone installed AMD64 successfully on the ax8? Please share your experience. Thank you very much.
