Some feature. :(  On this asus M2N SLI Deluxe board, I don't recall ever 
having a spontaneous reboot.

Another germane question then is why has not this asus_atk110 driver 
mentioned, and which I believe may be loaded right now in -rc5,(yes) been 
fixed?

>From remarks I have seen go by on this list, I have gathered that there seems 
to have taken place, a bit of a spat between asus and linux, and that until 
asus gets a better attitude, asus related problems will be ignored.  That's 
fine, but at the same time, I would have appreciated being made more 
obviously aware of it _before_ I spent nearly $300 USD on what I thought was 
a decent motherboard.  This disagreement wasn't so obvious a year ago when I 
built this box as it is now.  I would not repeat a box build using this 
motherboard today.

Thanks, Zeev.
