I have an Asus A7NX8-E motherboard and overall it works well in Linux. I use the nVidia drivers for the network card but I switched to using ALSA drivers instead for the onboard sound. I haven't been able to get the sound working properly with KDE/arts but I think that's something I've misconfigured rather than something wrong with the drivers or motherboard itself.
