Hi if you trying it install drivers there is are problems  with Intel L440 GX
motherboards something about dynamically assigning irq's. I have the same
board and when i upgraded to latest kernel it did found everything 
automatically
and there was not problem at all !!!! I am using RH72, you can play around 
there
is a special web page for this problem but i can't remember the address 
right now !!!!
So just use latest kernel or install latest distro whatever you prefer !!!!
