on your network card, and audio problem.
1. Goto ASUS.com and download the linux version of the drivers for your network card.
It has instructions and a driver for installation, quite easy if you read and follow it correctly.
2. follow step one only for your audio device.
Now for the part that has been driving everyone who owns a P4P800 DLX board mad. The via vt6410 has not been supported under linux (really) and they are currently testing a driver for release in about another week. This came from a via rep.

A new driver for VT6410/VT6420 Linux driver support is being tested at the moment. The ETA on releasing it is two weeks. Then an application note will be written ASAP. Hopefully we can post it for the November release.
The V0.8 driver supports all OS distributions as it is released in a source building format.
So it should support for the four OS we support now and also it does not restricet the CPU type.

So it seems they will be releasing a compatible linux driver shortly. We can only hope.
I have the same board and all of my products work except the vt6410 controller. They do not work out of the box you have to manually install the drivers yourself, do some research and it shouldn't be to hard. I still consider myself fairly new to linux, but as I ran into these problems that had to be fixed I did learn allot more about the whole O.S.
Goodluck.
P.S. If you still run into problems let me know I have some docs somewhere on installing these drivers.
