It worked when I first got the system but about a week in, the receive lights went out and the port stopped picking up an IP address from DHCP. Since that time, the Nvidia LAN port has been non-functional. I am using the other Marvell LAN port which works fine under Linux. I toyed with the idea of trying to get an RMA from Asus, but they have failed to respond to any of my emails requesting an RMA, and I am pretty sure that it is not worth the effort of waiting the 3 weeks for them to turn around a replacement motherboard. However, the forums are full of people who got shipments of the board with bad chipfans. If you have one of those, you would likely get problems on initial start as the chipfan doesn't start up and this causes a boot failure. If you are experiencing that, you really should call tech support and get an RMA as this can permanently damage your board over time. Either that or you can manually replace the chipset fan with a replacement. Brian, That's is exactly what's up with mine, damn I really didn't want to have to pull it all apart.
