IEE1394a aka Firewire 400
The ASUS P5B Deluxe has a single 400Mbps firewire port (aka IEEE1394a) onboard, with motherboard headers for one more.

Networking
The ASUS P5B Deluxe has two onboard gigabit ethernet network interfaces: See this guide and this guide.

see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml for more information about the configuration.

Hardware Sensors
See this guide.

You should activate the w83627ehf driver.

For kernels 2.6.31 and above the w83627ehf driver conflicts with ACPI. The asus_atk0110 driver should be used instead.

To prevent ACPI from stealing I/O ports, and then reuse the w83627ehf driver and restore the old behavior (which might be dangerous), add  to the kernel cmdline when booting.
