I'm using an ASUS A7N8X (nForce2 chipset) with linux-2.4.21-pre3-ac4 + the patch for the __free_pages_ok oops, Subject: "[patch] 2.4.21-pre3-ac oops". I also added the latest nForce drivers for both it's nic and audio, but they load with symbol mismatches. I am using the nVidia NIC with the nvnet driver. I haven't used sound yet as something isn't configured correctly yet, haven't tracked it down yet as that is low priority. The system just became stable with the oops patch. I have the 3Com NIC recognised, but not used. Sofar the nVidia NIC is transmitting and receiving fine. I transfered data to the system over the network in 100MBit full duplex mode on a switched network and it didn't hicup at all. The transfer saturated the network for a few hours so it got a good workout. The new copy md5sumed identicle to the original so there weren't hidden issues in the transfer. For the long term, who knows how it will hold up. I don't have any IEEE 1394, or serial IDE devices so they haven't been tested. I haven't used USB yet, but it is recognised. As of right now I'm doing testing for stability assesment and all looks good.
