Feel free to comment on the Linux compatibility for the ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP Edition in this thread.

Using this mobo with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Installing and basically everything works, except:
- sensors not detected. GPU- and HDD-tempereature values are detected with Gkrellm. No CPU-temperature detection. Said to work with 2.6.21 kernel (Feisty uses 2.6.20) Hoping that it's possible to patch the kernel in an OK fashion. Otherwise, I have to wait for Gutsy. (Oct. 2007)
- Wireless works out of the box, but not with wpa. Said to work with ndiswrapper, but I have not tried.
