I used the newest vendor driver for my onboard NIC (board: ASUS M5A97 Pro) and those sites to get it running on kernel 3.0:

The problem now is, that this doesn't work with either kernel 3.1 or 3.2:

My question is: does anyone have a solution to get it run on the newest kernel? Or is this a plaque I have to carry forever?
