<div dir="ltr"><div>Shahar hi,<br><br>How about just popping in a recent livecd and checking it out?<br>From my recent kernel compiling experiences i saw that the latest kernels come with a LOT of extensions (to include in the kernel or as modules) for handling a wide variety of controllers.<br>
Also, is this a dedicated controller (pci/pci-e) or built in to the motherboard?<br><font color="#888888">
