Contacted ASUS local distributor, technical support section.  They said
not a problem connecting with BIOS.  But they won't support Linux.

A CD came with A8N-VM motherboard.  There are Linux drivers on it to
solve the issue of nVidia chipset problem.  Their installation requires
kernel compilationg.  I'm now search for the relevant kernel source.
