docs/hardware is redundant, because it now mostly contains installation instructions, and docs/install also contains hardware information. therefore, in practise, they are both the same kind of information. merge the two, and streamline everything. a lot of redundant information has been removed. docs/install/ has been re-structured in such a way as to enable more chronological reading, to make it easier for the average user to install Canoeboot. This is part of a larger series of changes I'm working on for the documentation. I'm massively auditing the entire Canoeboot documentation. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org>

This is similar to Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L but uses an Intel NIC rather than
|
|
Realtek. Some problems with GNU+Linux on this NIC, on this board, with Canoeboot,
|
|
were observed; see (NOTE: Libreboot issue tracker, not Canoeboot):

That page (on notabug) has some notes about workarounds. It links to this:

|
|
This page has some guidance on how to either correct the checksum (in GbE
|
|
config) or skip checksum validation in GNU+Linux, to get the onboard NIC working.
|
|
Although it's talking about different hardware, the steps should be the same.

TODO: factory BIOS on this board works fine with the onboard NIC. study what
|
|
that is doing
