Linux drivers for motherboard

[yeehi]

At the bottom of the Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard motherboard page here it says:

Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.

What does this mean for a Ubuntu user?

This motherboard will first be set up with a new bios and updates for MS Vista. Once that has been done, a version of Ubuntu will be installed.

Will the motherboard's BIOS need to be flashed again? Will it need to be reconfigured for Ubuntu? I wonder whether the mobo can save a GNU/Linux and Vista profile and use the appropriate one, depending on which OS boots.

At the Intel website, I am not sure what to do.

Please help! Thank you.

What does this mean for a Ubuntu user?

Probably nothing!
Sounds like a cover all quote.
And it's mostly a load of codswallop, because everything is built in to the kernel and as yet I have never had to do what is quoted by your MOBO vendor.

that part is likely ment if you compiled/created the kernel yourself. for example to create your own distro.

i am not sure why you would need any extra linux drivers for motherboard in Ubuntu.

As covered above, it doesn't mean much to an Ubuntu user. Linux users with custom kernels may not have some common drivers; anyone that savvy is going to know that they need to be concerned with drivers.

It's also a bit of a disclaimer, "don't talk to us, talk to them!".
