Driver validation is a key part of the Intel desktop board test and manufacturing process. Most notably, you can successfully install a device, but if the driver is not functional you cannot access the device. Intel’s robust driver validation ensures the Intel desktop board will function well with drivers and the components they support.
Linux* drivers required for a complete system depends on the OS distribution selected. The following table summarizes the drivers included in this release. For information on installing drivers, see Installing Drivers.
