Hmm, that's what I thought. It seemed to touch too many other bits of the 
networking code to be that simple. I will stick with 5.x for now. The ath 
board is in the server providing hostap service. It would have been nice to 
have proper 54Mbps support instead of the current 11Mbps, but I can't risk 
all the other services this box runs breaking. Ah well...

I won't. I don't use the ITE RAID on the Gigabyte board anyway, and the 
support for the VIA SATA is rock-solid. The reason I wanted to know was that 
I found this board to be solid and stable and it would be nice to be able to 
recommend an AMD64 board with 100% support. Even the ACPI is flawless on this 
board. Its one let-down is the ITE device which doesn't even work as a normal 
ATA controller.

Yes, OK, I should be running -CURRENT with an AMD64 anyway, I know ;-)

Thanks for the information.
