asus m2n-mx se plus no sound no lan :(

[gazzzman]

what feels like ages ago I posted this

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=4613.0

I bought a m2npv-vm  to use as my core/hybrid.. it is still back at the manufacturers awaiting replacement after it boiled my processor (long story)
anyhow things have moved on and I need to use the m2n-mx se as the core but I need the slots so I need the onboard LAN and sound working!
neither of them seem to be detected
anyone tell me where to start?
according to what I have read in the Ubuntu forums this board should work "out of the box" with Gutsy??
thanks!!

Considering that this board should work out of the box with Gutsy, have you tried doing a CD install?

[gazzzman]

hi there Zaerc
TBH I have only ever used the X64 DVD to install on this box.
is that not the best approach in this case?
thanks for your help!

I have this motherboard as well I am not having any issues with the network port I installed from AMD 64 DVD, I am however having trouble with the sound I fixed this in the last issue by installing from cd's and compiling ALSA before installing the linuxmce software. IE Disto install upgrade ALSA then LinuxMCE install.

I will be working on this over the weekend I will document everthing I did to get this working and let you know. Assuming I get time.

hi there jamieaus!
thanks!
I think there is a hardware issue with the LAN on this board (have not had it work proper;y on any OS yet   )
but any pointers you could give me over sound would be fantastic
have a great weekend!

I have installed linuxmce 0710 RC2 with kubuntu 7.1 AMD64 versions and the sound works upon first installing the system.

I can see and hear the woman in the setup instructions
I lost sound somehow it got muted however all is working.

Here is what I did
Download Kubuntu 7.10 AMD 64 DVD and install
Update installation from terminal sudo apt-get upgrade
Download Linuxmce AMD 64 cd's and install

That is it.

Gazzman doesn't sound good for you with the network port however we will get the sound working.

Good Luck

Jamie.

hi again!
well... I think they MIGHT be taking the board back
so you never know
if I get it replaced I will let you know how things work out!
though I will probably end up using something else as a core now (inpatient as I am )
and this will end up a MD
I will let you know how things turn out!
thanks Jamie!
have a great weekend!
