Dear Cary and Matthias,
   I noted that you had sent messages about this chip set and motherboard.
I note:

   Do you have any more success/failures to report on the eithernet on
this motherboard?

   Are you still of the opinion it is fairly solid and well performing?

TIA for your info on this board.
