Did you have a question?

There is occasionally some "combat" in here, yes.

I have Asus A8V and i am using both Slackware
and Slamd64. Asus even has GPL:ed drivers for it!
(you will probably not need those for Slamd64 that
uses a 2.6 kernel)

(Watch out for linebreaks in above links. On the page
you have to click on "Drivers" and scroll down a bit
for the Linux ones)

I even got both RPM and SRPM packages on the CD
that came with the board, RPMs compiled for both
x86 and x86_64. I use the module for my NIC from
the RPM package in Slackware 10, and sound works
fine with the vanilla 2.4.26 kernels module snd-intel8x0

In Slamd64 it was not needed, the modules allredy
in a vanilla 2.6 kernel works just fine and gets
loaded automagicly.

i got it to work under slackware 10.1 normal by using the motherboard
cd linux drivers
unfortunately under Slamd64 the 64 bit drivers do not work
how did you get it to work?

I did not do anything, it just worked.

I found a newer module here, that works

I think the standard one on slamd64 came dates to 2004.
