pleasant surprise, the motherboard is received version 1.1 with the latest BIOS version. the differences I noticed (vs. 1.0) are that the ATX connector is an 8 pin and the ethernet controller is a atheros AR8161. Installed with Windows XP no problem, everything works. Ubuntu 12.10 installed with an alternative network connection is required (eg. Mobile 3G modem mode) to update the system and taking account of the ethernet controller.
