[NBLUG/talk] Shuttle XPC N41G2 on Linux

[Daniel Kinon]

Hey Guys,
   for christmas I got a Shuttle XPC N41G2.  For those who don't know, it
is a really small barebone case designed by shuttle that uses a
specially designed shuttle motherboard.  The particular version I have
is an AMD based nForce2 board.  Naturally the first thing I did was try
to install linux on it.
   The install went fine but unforunately alot on the things aren't
working... ethernet, sound firewire and usb... I haven't even gotten to
the imbedded geforce4mx yet.  I figured ethernet was the most important
since I need to update alot.  I tried installing the newest kernel and
that didn't fix any problems.  Shuttle itself doesn't really offer any
help as far as linux goes, so I went directly to nvidia and found a
some downloads, some of which seemed to be kernel patches.  I followed
the instructions that came with it but so far nothing has happened. 
Does anyone out there have experience with nforce or the XPC that knows
what I'm talking about.
Thanks,


-Dan
