Also, believe it or not, I'm not even disgusted with the integrated audio's quality. Net: Surprisingly, Marvell have a binary driver for 5.x and 6.x. Look for e.g. 'mykbsd60x86' package on their web site. BTW, it'd be nice if someone could make a port... Seems to work. SATA/IDE: Intel's ICH8 SATA controllers are quite good, as usual. JMicron's controller doesn't like atapicam in kernel, though (halts during boot). Might be something troubleshootable. > -Jr [SorAlx] ridin' VN1500-B2
