Background

I started gathering informations about ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard

the Intel i875P is currently not supported by coreboot, here are datasheets:

http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/875p/documentation.htm

It will perhaps need "82875P/E7210 Processor to PCI to CSA Bridge" register setup to have onboard ethernet working...
