No offense, but this question is poorly formed. I will attempt to answer it, anyway.

Almost everything is supported by Linux. If they only supported one motherboard, it wouldn't be a very large forum here, would it? :_)

That depends on what version (distro, distribution, package) you install, and what kind of drivers come with it. Also, there are a lot of other things involved in that, besides the motherboard.

Here is a site that might help you answer "will this hardware work" questions.

You want to find out if your modem (or network card) are supported by Linux, not just your motherboard.
