>Description:
A big pointy hat to me for assuming something. The entry I sent
for the Gigabyte GA-K8U stated the onboard NIC is not supported. This was based
on a cursory glance at the chipset on the board and cross-referencing to  other
M1689 chipset based boards, when in fact the Realtek LAN device is rl(4) RT8139 
compatible and works well in -STABLE. The audio device (M1563M Southbridge AC97
vendor 0x10b9 chip 0x5455) is still unsupported.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Have an idiot write a board report...
	
>Fix:
Change the entry for the GA-K8U to reflect the actual situation of a 
supported LAN chipset and give me a swift kick for being a half-wit.
