I notice that 2.5 kernels now have explicit support for this chipset, while 2.4 don't seem to. So, if I ran a 2.4 kernel on such a machine, would it a) not work, b) work fine, or c) work OK but not as well as it could do? Widening the point somewhat, I notice messages on the list go by stating that motherboard such-and-such is stable/flaky under linux. Is there any list anywhere of known good/bad boards, chipsets, etc? Stephen
