I've got an ASUS A8N5X - nforce4 based -, and the last Ubuntu with a working ethernet connection was Dapper.
I tried with Edgy and Feisty, but also with other distros like Arch and Dreamlinux.
The problem is always the same: I can set a LAN connection both in static and DHCP mode, the connection seems to work, I can ping a domain, I can open a Google page, but nothing else, few sites are working.
apt-get for example stays freezed and I have to kill it with a CTRL-C.
Looking to solve the problem on Internet I discovedered a linuxquestions.org thread in which they were talking about the onboard firewall "NV Firewall", and It may be it, 'cause I have the same problem with the onboard LAN and with a Realtek PCI..
