Still having problems with kernel-2.6.15-1.2064_FC6

Wed Mar 22 13:48:42 UTC 2006

Kernel kernel-2.6.15-1.2064_FC6 still have the most anoying problems 
when working with ASUS P4S800-MX SE:

It identifies de network device. But eth0 does not work and in the 
/var/messages we have really lots of:

Aparently system identifies the f-ck-g ethernet port:

Not being able to test kernels newer than Linux terra.intramundi 
2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5 #1 Thu Mar 2 18:10:16 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux seems to be a real major setback...

By the other side, ASUS motherboards are common enough to attract 
atention from kernel developers... So, what is going so wrong with it 
that we have almost two months of uncompliance????

By the way.. there are also other setbacks: videodev does not work, so 
OV511 devices (like webcams) stay stoned deeeaaad.

Bye...
