I am thinking of getting this motherboard, AM3 socket Asus M4A87TD EVO. It appears to be a new one from Asus and I am wondering if Linux supports it in all ways (networking, sound, etc.).
Chipset: AMD 870 / SB850
LAN: RTL8111E PCIe Gigabit LAN controller featuring AI NET2
Audio: VT1818 High Definition Audio 8-Channel CODEC
Storage: SB850 Chipset. 6 xSATA 6.0 Gb/s ports Support RAID 0,1,5,10 IEEE 1394: VIA® VT6308P controller supports 2 x 1394a port(s)
USB: NEC® USB 3.0 controller:- 2 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports (blue; at back panel) SB850 Chipset:- 12 x USB 2.0 ports (6 ports at mid-board, 6 ports at back panel)
From some google search, it appears that gigabit LAN has some problems on wake-on-lan with the default linux driver, but the module compiled from the manufacturer's source code works properly (but if wake-on-lan is not to be used, the linux driver works okay). Some people have also had problems making the audio work, but I can't confirm one way or the other. No word regarding USB 3.0. The new SATA, 6 Gbps, seems to work since some people have installed linux on it. But these issue are apparently a few months old.
Can anybody with this mobo confirm that it is working fully in Linux?
Thanks.
