The nic is from broadcom - 100 & 1000 mbit. However the tg3 driver doesnt detect the new nics on the asus a7v8x.
I currently use the driver suplied from asus for the 100 mbit nic - it works fine for home use. Broadcom's site is completely b0rked website where i cant find anything at all. ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/asus/lan/broadcom/ 4401 is for 100mbit chip 5502 is for 1000mbit chip The linux drivers are GPL licensed according to the module source (only checked 4401). The new lspci (pciutils-2.1.11-1mdk) detects the broadcom nic correctly. but lspcidrake does not. lspcidrake -v: unknown : unknown (1106/3189/1043/807f) [BRIDGE_HOST] unknown : unknown (1106/b168/ffff/ffff) [BRIDGE_PCI] ohci1394 : VIA Technologies|OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller [SERIAL_FIREWIRE] (vendor:1106 device:3044) unknown : unknown (105a/3376/1043/809e) [STORAGE_RAID] unknown : unknown (14e4/4401/1043/80a8) [NETWORK_ETHERNET] 8139too : Realtek|RTL-8139 [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (vendor:10ec device:8139 subv:1186 subd:1300) audigy : Creative Labs|EMU10K2 Audigy Audio Processor [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1102 device:0004 subv:1102 subd:0051) emu10k1-gp : Creative Labs|EMU10K2 Audigy Gameport [INPUT_OTHER] (vendor:1102 device:7003 subv:1102 subd:0040) ohci1394 : Creative Labs|EMU10K2 Audigy IEEE1394 Firewire Controller [SERIAL_FIREWIRE] (vendor:1102 device:4001 subv:1102 subd:0010) usb-uhci : VIA Technologies|VT82C586B USB [SERIAL_USB] (vendor:1106 device:3038 subv:1043 subd:808c) usb-uhci : VIA Technologies|VT82C586B USB [SERIAL_USB] (vendor:1106 device:3038 subv:1043 subd:808c) usb-uhci : VIA Technologies|VT82C586B USB [SERIAL_USB] (vendor:1106 device:3038 subv:1043 subd:808c) ehci-hcd : VIA Technologies Inc|VT8235 USB Enhanced Controller [SERIAL_USB] (vendor:1106 device:3104 subv:1043 subd:808c) unknown : VIA Technologies Inc|VT8233A PCI to ISA Bridge [BRIDGE_ISA] (vendor:1106 device:3177 subv:1043 subd:808c) unknown : VIA Technologies|VT82C586 IDE [Apollo] [STORAGE_IDE] (vendor:1106 device:0571 subv:1043 subd:808c) Card:NVIDIA GeForce3 (generic): nVidia Corporation|GeForce3 (rev 2) [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:0202 subv:1681 subd:0071) unknown : Virtual|Hub [] (vendor:0000 device:0000) pwc : Philips|PCVC740K ToUcam Pro [] (vendor:0471 device:0311) unknown : Virtual|Hub [] (vendor:0000 device:0000) unknown : Virtual|Hub [] (vendor:0000 device:0000) unknown : NEC Systems|Hub [iMac kbd] [] (vendor:0409 device:55ab) unknown : Microsoft|Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) [Human Interface Devices|Boot Interface Subclass|Mouse] (vendor:045e device:0047) lspci -v: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
