When I bought my Asus P5B-E board last year, the drivers for the Attansic
L1 gigabit NIC hadn't made it into the kernel and no live CD would enable
it. I ended up putting a spare PCI NIC in to install Gentoo, then
patching the kernel to enable the on-board one.

It appeared in the next kernel release, so is not problem now, but that
was less than a year ago.

clean them?
