I tried without success using the iDeneb 10.5.5. Used every option I could think of and nothing worked. I changed distro's to Kalyway 10.5.2 and it installed perfectly on the first try.

The only thing I don't have working is the network card and from the countless hours I've spent trying to fix it, it appears that most everyone has given up on this chipset. You'll likely be better off getting another NIC and throwing it in the case. I know that's my plan b, right now.

Let me know if you run in to any problems.
