Jason,

What was the Linux flavor you brought up on that board?


When I first loaded up, it was Ubuntu Edgy.  After Feisty came out
though, I rebuilt.

One gotcha to look out for with the P5B Deluxe boards - in kernel
2.6.21, the sky2 driver (the onboard pci-e connected gig ether), the
device id for the hw is commented out because of a problem that seems
to exist on another board, but is not present on the Asus boards.  I
uncommented the dev id and the module loads and works properly.  Look
at drivers/net/sky2.c, around line 120.
