Pulled out my flashlight and checked, and indeed it's a - BroadCom BCM4401 KFB on the Asus site they also say - LAN (optional) Broadcom=AE 10/100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps Ethernet controller so I must have somehow gotten the 10/100 chip. :) Sorry for the confusion :) :) Grepping the sources I can't seem to find 4401 anywhere so I suspect this chip is not yet supported ?
