Goodmorning (for me at least :P) to all,

I'm a fresh rookie on the AMD64 platform. I recently purchased an asus 
A8V board which includes onboard gbit capabilities.

I already read the thread "sk on ASUS K8V SE Delux" which was started by 
Shin'ichiro TAYA for the very same problem. The conclusion was that the 
driver had a major facelift after it had the opertunity to get into 2.0, 
so 2.0 amd ships with a known broken driver.

Now the question arrises, is it possible to backport the -current driver 
to a 2.0-release tree, make an iso and install that one, without too 
much kernel hacking and all ?

Please comment on the idea.
