This ethernet NIC can be found on various motherboards by Abit for example. IC Plus has provided open-source drivers since a long time, but they have still not found their way into the kernel.

Download the drivers here: http://www.icplus.com.tw/Data/driver/IP1000A%20Linux%20driver%20v2.09f.zip

Unpack it somewhere. Then open a terminal and become root.

I have heard reports that the driver doesn't compile on some kernels and system configurations, besides a lot of other little issues.

Installation fails on Fedora 8 64-bit. Instructions are vague.

Also, the link in this topic is broken, the correct link is: http://www.icplus.com.tw/driver-pp-IP1000A.html

Works without issues on Kubuntu Gutsy (the driver is in linux-restricted-modules).
