Hi Joel,

Not sure if mine's the best, but I use the Asus a8v with an amd 3000+ on 
netbsd. The onboard nic (gbit) only works with netbsd-current, not with 
2.0-release. Furthermore, the supplied wlan card (if you have the deluxe 
edition) remains undetected. It has two IDE controllers, promise and 
via, of which only via is supported.

mvg,

Wouter
