[9fans] June 10 ISOs are borked

2008-06-10 Thread Lyndon Nerenberg

Hi, I'm tempted by the Intel D201GLY2 board (available around £40 in the UK), but the specs say that it has a Broadcom AC131KLMG LAN 10/100MBit on board and I can't find any info if there's a driver for it. Anybody know if it's definitely not supported right now? Thanks, Robby
