Hi. I am trying to use this product with Fedora Core. Where can I get drivers for the motherboard? PC Chips don't seem to offer any?

I have the m848A rv 5.
This board runs as well as one can expect a $40.00 mobo to run. Everything works. I had to play with the ddr/cas settings to make the board run stable, with 768Mb kinston pc2700, Athlon xp 2200, pny geforce 440. 400 watt powerlink psu.

I had this M848ALU (V2.1) motherboard for I think 4 years, maybe 5. Everything works, nothing ever goes wrong. Using Athlon XP 2700 and 2 x 512MB Kingmax DDR 400 and nvidia geforce 6200, 2 hard drives, 2 optical drives, floppy drive, extra USB 2.0 ports, fans, variable speed fan controllers, audigy sound card with firewire out. I spent far more on the Thermaltake power supply than the board itself. I think the board cost me about 25 GBP new and the PSU about 60. I'd buy an ECS/PCChips board again, not exciting and not really overclockable but very stable and incredibly cheap, though it looks like this thing might go on forever so will never need replacing :-) It's fine with Linux kernel since I bought it, full support, no issues.
