I'm using an Asus p4c800 mb which has onboard sound and lan, but it's not being detected. I've searched the forums and found a couple of people with similar problems, but their solutions didn't help me.

I downloaded the linux drivers from the Asus websiite, followed their directions pretty exactly and received a couple of pages worth of text output (which I thought I saved, but now can't find) and a failure message at the end. I also ran lspci -v and received this output:

The last entry is for the lan controller, so it is at least recognized, but when I try to configure a network card it tells me there is none installed.

I am normally behind a Lingo.com router, but I connected directly to the cable modem and had no better luck.

I also found the following tutorial www.eleli.de/knoppix/docs/tutorial/english/ and tried to follow those directions but had no better luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am quite excited at the tought of a virus and spyware proof way to surf the net.
