<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I have installed a new MSI 865GM3-V motherboard in my
computer. I downloaded (from another computer) 8.1 and installed.
All went pretty well except some things don't work so well. The USB
optical mouse is a bit flakey but the biggie is the onboard 10-100 Ethernet
is not working (although Ubuntu says I am connected to the network, I cannot get
to the internet). I have tried several different internet connection
settings within Firefox to no avail. Sound isn't working
either. But my printer does! I have looked high and low for Linux
drivers for this motherboard. All I can find are Win drivers. Any
suggestions? I am about ready to give up and go back to
XP. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
