Provide any additional details you wish below.
My question is this: The Gigabyte website for the mobo specifies "Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website." I have no idea what this means. I think this means that the H97 chipset requires that I install a special driver? I don't even know how to do that? I don't find such a driver at the Intel website, and a google search on "Intel H97 Linux driver Gigabyte Motherboard" and various related permutation yielded no help.
Lil help?
