Asus Motherboards integrated peripherals -- wtf???
Hi everyone,
I have two machines here in front of me, both brand new and running debian woody 3.0r1. It seems that the integrated ethernet and audio on the motherboards (both Asus, one is a p4c800e-deluxe, the other is an A7NV8X-X) refuses to work on either. I have read up on the A7NV8X NVidia stuff and said fork it, leave it to the customer cuz they chose the hardware and I'm running out of time. But, is there anything I can do to get the AC97 sound card to work? here is some bg info:
I have an A7N8X deluxe, and my audio and one of my network ports worked out of the box with hotplug and kernel 2.4.22. I added the nforce drivers, and now everything works pretty well, except that mixing isn't so good.
As Zoombie said, try the NForce driver package (on nvidia's site) for the A7NV8X. Native (kernel) support for its NForce2 chipset is sketchy. Not sure about the other mobo.
