ASUS A7V8X-E, K8V SE, A8V, p4p800 MOBO's All need the sk0 driver A lot of users will get disappointed with FreeBSD if they hit this BUG the first thing that happends after buying a new MOBO. If its possible to fix this for 5.3 it should be done. This problem was the primary reason why I bought a MSI board this time, ASUS has a huge market share and the fact that this bug(s) plages the majority of their modern MOBO's is serious.
