Marvell Gbit LAN PHY 88E1111 Compatibility

mhbell · 02-28-2006, 10:45 PM

I just purchased a new ASUS K8N-E Motherboard with Nvidia chipset NF3 250GB
with a Marvell Gbit ethernet LAN card PHY 88E1111 built in. my old Motherboard failed. it also had the NF3 250G chipset, But the built in ethernet card was a different make. I used forcedeth for the driver and all worked fine for most Distros. I am now wondering about the Marvell Gbit LAN PHY 88E1111 Compatibility. I find that several Motherboards that have the same chipset use the Marvell Gbit LAN PHY 88E1111 built in.

Has anyone here used a motherboard with Linux with that type of ethernet card? What about this motherboard< anyone using it with Linux. Any problems that I should be aware of? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated..
I can't seem to find any info on Linux compatibility for this motherboard or Marvell Gbit LAN PHY 88E1111 card

Mine is the K8N-E but not the deluxe. But other than a few extra audio channels and extra Serial ATA ports they are the same. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
