Look at the list of supported hardware.  There seems to be a lack of
any current production consumer boards on that list.  It looks like
the only athlon64/Opteron/turion support is for the ancient AMD-8111
reference chipset that no consumer motherboard uses.

This is worse than the trouble we have with finding supported wifi
hardware.
