Hi Michael,

  I've got an i810 box up.  It has no TV Out.  Sound is still not
working
but that's because I haven't bothered to upgrade the 2.2.14 RH 6.2
default kernal yet.  Sound is supported in 2.2.16 and higher apparently.
For ethernet I had to go and grab one of D. Becker's drivers, but it
works well.  Two sites to visit:

Donald's for ethernet,

and Intel's for additional,
