As an Abit reseller, I also let them know that way. It may be that they'll actually listen to a direct customer rather than an end user.IC Plus Corp. posted a new Linux driver for IP1000A (v2.07, Apr. 20, 05 and v2.07a, Apr. 25, 05; the only difference between v2.07 and v2.07a is a small correction in readme.txt), that works flawlessly with kernel 2.6.9. However this driver fails to work with kernel 2.6.11: when compiling, several warning messages "initialization from incompatible pointer type" appear, and when loading, "IP1000 based ethernet device not found on PCI bus". One problem of kernel 2.6.9 is the lack of support for the SATA controller VT6421L (kernel 2.6.11 supports it). I requested IC Plus Corp to update the Linux driver. Let's see what they do...
My guess is that this won't be fixed anytime soon though. I just like to be pessimistic. Fortunately, I don't need gigabit speeds on any AX8 boards and I can just use old 10/100 PCI card. Except for the onboard LAN, the AX8 seems like a useful board, I've got three in use so far. That'll probably double before long.
