My A8V Deluxe claims on the Website to have this chip, but it's reported as:

skc0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xa800-0xa8ff mem 
0xf9a00000-0xf9a03fff irq 17 at device 10.0 on pci0
skc0: Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev. (0x9)
sk0: <Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. Yukon> on skc0
sk0: Ethernet address: 00:11:d8:94:74:49
miibus1: <MII bus> on sk0
e1000phy0: <Marvell 88E1000 Gigabit PHY> on miibus1
e1000phy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 
1000baseTX-FDX, auto

and works fine (though I doubt it will ever get close to a gigabit).  So 
assuming they are the same chip...

Don't count too much on sensors.  I can get stats using mbmon (though 
12V is reported at 15.5V), but not through ACPI.  If there is a thermal 
zone, I can't see it because acpidump can't even read all the data.  
Even a windows util (Everest?) couldn't read it properly.
