To summarize what I've done so far - I've upgraded the board in question to the newest BIOS available (v0203 iirc) - loaded setup defaults - reconfigured them (... deactivated onboard lan) and all was fine. Not sure if it even matters - or if it even might have sight effects on your current setup which might led to your issue at all - this board (according to ASUS' forums and other forums) will/should run stable if the desired RAM voltage is <= 1.95V - there are several posts where people complain that it runs quite unstable/quirky with higher voltage ram (2.0V/2.1V and such from wellknown vendors). I've upped some stats about this board as well: https://www.undermydesk.org/pub/freebsd/asus_m2ne_specs/ if anyone cares to port the audio driver (which currently doesn't work on 7.0-CURRENT - but works on Linux Fedora Core 5 [using alsa where it's detected as AD1988B by ac97]) =) (I cannot figure out the ac97 codecid for this chip - compared to current ac97 sources - and from looking at the alsa code I guess that this even won't suffice... because they use some patch then if it's an AD1988x).
