I have tried CentOS & Ubunto older cersion installation CD, can't recognise the controller. I guess I need either to recompile the kernel or download their latest version to try. Thanks.

FYI, 82801 is pretty standard. Furthermore, Intel hardware is pretty standard; Linux-friendly. If Windows needs a driver, it doesn't mean Linux would too. Such support is built into kernel modules like intel_piix for ICH chipsets.

My lazy 5 cents.
